Yes He’s Promising

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 28

Matt Dunn thought enough of Yes Yes Yes colt Climactic to send him to Sydney for last year’s $1million ATC Golden Gift won by Shangri La Express and while he could finish only a brave fourth that day on debut beaten two lengths, he made light work of a maiden at the Sunshine Coast on Wednesday.

Given a lengthy spell after his Golden Gift run Climactic looked good winning two barrier trials last month before resuming to finish third as favourite at Doomben on August 3, but with better fitness and a step to 1200m the good looking colt bounced back in style.

Ridden by James Orman, Climactic surged to the lead after turning for home and coasted to the line to win by more than two lengths in a canter.

 

Climactic was a $110,000 MM Gold Coast March yearling purchase.

A $110,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale purchase for  Matthew Dunn/Neil Jenkinson Pty Ltd  from the Telemon Thoroughbreds draft, Climactic is the first winner from metro winning Snitzel mare Snitzel’s Joy, a grand-daughter of Magic millions 2YO Classic winner Dancer’s Joy.

Snitzel’s Joy was one of 149 mares covered last spring at Coolmore by Everest hero Yes Yes Yes, who is priced this spring at $19,250.

Climactic is the sixth first crop winner for Yes Yes Yes, who has sired five stakes horses, and is his third winner of the new racing season.
