I know that Daryakana probably wins here but that's okay...

As long as he wins the Arc this year it's all good.

Agony!

Youmzain loses to Plumania in a heartbreaking finish...

Daryakana 3rd.

BACK TO REALITY AS YOUMZAIN GOES SO CLOSE YET AGAIN

Just when you think you've got life sussed, it bites you on the arse and reminds you that there's far more frustration than elation in all walks of life.


Many people have written Youmzain off after his runs in Hong Kong, Dubai and to a certain extent the Epsom performance in the Coronation Cup. Yesterday at St. Cloud though, he reaffirmed what we'd been thinking for some time - Youmzain remains a highly talented racehorse, a frustrating one yes, but you'd rather have him on your side for the sheer life challenge he provides both around the yard and on the racecourse.


In yesterday's Grand Prix de St Cloud, a race he won in 2008, Youmzain produced a vintage display. Switched off by Richard Hughes at the back of the 7 runner field, he produced a withering late run when they turned for home only to be denied victory by a nose.


How do you view such a performance?


It's tempting to let disappointment get the better of you, but at the very least, Youmzain has yet again proved he's up for a scrap and keen to race. This is an incredible 7th runner-up placing at the top level in twenty one consecutive Group 1 contests.


We'd obviously like to concentrate on bettering his tally of two wins at the highest level, but at least we know we have him back to his best.


A bit of luck would also be welcomed, but if we have to wait until October for Youmzain's luck, we'll do just that!
