Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 28

Trained by Ciaron Maher, Yes Lulu was placed in the Group III VRC Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes at Flemington and Listed MRC Redoute’s Choice Stakes at two and resumed from a spell with an unplaced run in the Group III VRC Red Roses Stakes at Flemington earlier this month.

Given a soft option here in a 1200m maiden, she cruised clear to win by a length and a half and will take good confidence from the win with a return to better company on the cards now she has broken the ice.

A $260,000 Magic Millions purchase for Ciaron Maher Bloodstock/Brut Racing from the Widden Stud draft, she made the same money at the Gold Coast as she did when offered there as a weanling by Milburn Creek and bought by Suman Hedge Bloodstock (FBAA)/Redwall Bloodstock.

Yes Lulu is a half-brother to stakes-winner Jack the Lad and is the fourth winner from four foals to race from Luluoro, an unraced half-sister by Redoute’s Choice to US stakes-winner Topic.

Yes Lulu is the 15th winner this season for Everest winner Yes Yes Yes, putting him into second place on the second crop sires table by winners.
