Yumi picture with her dam Belle Couture at Newgate Farm
It has not been an easy road for Yumi at the races, as she suffered an injury jumping from the barriers in her first start which required a lengthy spell on the sidelines, so it was fantastic to see her break her maiden in great style this weekend at Goulburn’s provincial meeting.
A homebred for Rob Love and partners including Fergus Doyle, Yumi is out of city-winning Redoute’s Choice mare Belle Couture, who is a half-sister to the immortal sprinter Black Caviar, this also being the family of the likes of Group 1 winner Magnus and recently dual Group 1 winner Ole Kirk. With this in mind Yumi will be a fabulous addition to the broodmare band when the time comes.
Congratulations to owners Rob Love, Fergus Doyle, Rodolfo Habla, Sally Wilson and Warren Wishart, and thanks to trainers Peter and Paul Snowden and rider Mitchell Bell.
