Our emerging young shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain has been represented by another exciting prospect in Europe.His son Kullazain had finished a sound third on debut at Ripon toward the end of last month before stepping out at Sandown where he romped to a front-running victory under Neil Callan.The colt is prepared at Newmarket by James Tate for owner Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum and was a 150,000gns purchase at the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale.Kullazain is a half-brother to four-time winner Swayze with their dam the Dream Ahead mare Dream Dreamer, who was successful as a two-year-old.Hello Youmzain’s first Northern Hemisphere crop have made an impressive impact with unbeaten G3 Prix des Chenes winner Misunderstood one of 10 individual winners for the son of Kodiac.

Lux Libertas continued to reward the patient approach of her connections.The progressive daughter of our resident stallion Almanzor struck again at Te Rapa for trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott to remain unbeaten in four appearances this campaign.“She’s a big girl and has been immature so we’ve taken our time,” Scott said.“She worked through the winter well and she’s got a few ticks in a few boxes now.”The four-year-old was given a patient ride in the 1400 metre contest by regular partner Warren Kennedy and she again responded positively. Lux Libertas settled third last in the running and speared between runners in the straight with an irresistible finish.“The plan was to ride her quietly, if she hits the front too soon, she gawks around,” he said.“She won with a bit in hand and is a stakes filly.”Lux Libertas was bred by Graham and Helen-Gaye Bax, whose daughter Kylie manages the interest of part-owner Goldeye Trust, with Lib Petagna.She is a daughter of the late stakes-performed Makfi mare Miss Fi, who was a half-sister to the dual Listed winner Peaceful.

High-class colt Misunderstood has credited our multiple Group 1-winning shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain with his first stakes success.The undefeated youngster produced a commanding performance to romp to victory in the G3 Prix des Chenes over 1600 metres at Longchamp.Misunderstood had been a winner on debut at Deauville in July and handled a rise in class with aplomb, making all the running for rider Alexis Pouchin to saunter home by four and a-half lengths.“He has a tendency to be keen and we don't have much choice but to let him bowl along in front at a good pace,” trainer Mario Baratti said.“This is also why he carries a hood. He kept finding and drew away nicely, proving that he is probably a very good horse. “Alexis has suggested running him over seven furlongs. The Lagardere (G1 Prix Jean-Luc) is a possibility, but I first want to discuss it with the owners.“Personally, I would like to wait for next year as he gives a lot in his races and I don't want to give him one race too many this year.”Misunderstood failed to meet his reserve at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and then sold for 95,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale with our friends at Haras D’Etreham, who stand Hello Youmzain in France, in the ownership group.He is a half-brother to the stakes winners Waldbeine and Urwald with their dam the Observatory mare Waldjagd, whose half-brother Waldpark won the G1 German Derby with four-time elite level winner Waldgeist another decorated member of the family.
