Yes Yes Yes Breaks the Ice for Rubick

Mark Smith - Saturday December 15

After a frustrating run of six minor placegetters including the (LR) Inglis Debutant Stakes runner-up Biscara and Group III Breeders' Plate third Krameric, Coolmore Stud's first season sire Rubick broke the ice on Saturday with the highly promising colt Yes Yes Yes in the Super Vobis 2-Y-O Plate at Flemington.

Backed into favouritism following his debut second to Brooklyn Hustle at Moonee Valley on December 1, Yes Yes Yes tracked the early speed under Mark Zahra before breaking clear at the 200 metres to defeat Absolute Flirt (Stratum) by one and a half lengths with Favourite Things (Snitzel) three-quarters of a length back in third.

Winning trainer Darren Weir said the son of Rubick was likely to make the trip to the Gold Coast in January for the $2 million Magic Millions 2yo Classic.


"He looks like he has come on from his first run although he is still very green," Weir said.

"It's been in the back of our mind (to go to the MM 2yo Classic) and certainly if he holds together we would think about it. But he is a really nice horse and looking at him in the yard I thought 'gee you have got three-year-old written all over you' but he's got the right attitude and the ability and it's a pretty good prizemoney race."

Bred by Arlington Park Racing, Yes Yes Yes (pictured as a yearling) was consigned to the 2018 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale by Kitchwin Hills.

A half-brother to the stakes-placed Dee Nine Elle (Duporth), Yes Yes Yes was purchased by Darren Weir Racing/John Foote Bloodstock for $200,000.

He is the third winner from as many to race out of the Wellington Boot winner Sin Sin Sin (Fantastic Light), a half-sister to dual Group III AJC The Shorts winner Hot As Hell, the Listed Carrington Stakes winner Hell Flaming Hot and the Hong Kong stakes-winner Craig's Dragon from the famed Vista Anna family nurtured by David Cobcroft.

Kitchwin Hills will consign a Press Statement colt out of Sin Sin Sin to the 2019 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

Sin Sin Sin foaled a Sebring colt on October 3.

Rubick covered 214 mares in his debut season at Coolmore Stud where he stands at a fee of $17,600.
