Youtoofast way too slick

14 April 2013

The aptly-named Youtoofast had her Trentham rivals saying just that on Saturday when she raced to victory in the Mufhasa Cup. A classic WS product, the daughter of Fast ‘N’ Famous showed a good turn of foot in the straight to put her Rating 75 rivals away.

Trained by Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen, the four-year-old has been patiently handled and has now recorded three wins and seven placings from her 13 appearances. She is a daughter of the unraced O’Reilly mare You Too and a member of an outstanding WS family.

The dam is a blood sister to Singapore Group One winner Arenti, the mother of the dual Group Two Australian winner Steps In Time and the multiple Listed winner Escadaire. The Jewel in the pedigree is the Matamata farm’s two-time Group One winner Glamour Puss.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It would appear I now have to continue my weekly Corner with the amount of rumblings at the start of our new racing season. I have been around long enough to know we can never please all; my tenure as Chairman of the Racing Board was subjected to as much vitriol as subsequent Boards have had to bear, so what’s different this time, or is it different.
