Yakeen as a yearlingTrained by Mike de Kock for Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, three year-old Teofilo (IRE) colt Yakeen scored a stylish length and a half win on debut beating older horses over 1400 metres.

The next race, another 1400 metre maiden, went the way of Huyssteen, a Hard Spun (USA) gelding from the Lucky Houdalakis stable that scored by half a length at his second start.

A $45,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase for James Goodman from the Maluka Thoroughbreds draft, Huyssteen is the second winner for Redoute's Choice mare Renaka, who comes from a US Black Type family.
