YES YES YES (AUS)

The annual Australian Horse of the Year awards on Monday night produced a glowing endorsement for the talents of last year’s Everest winner Yes Yes Yes, who was voted Australia’s Champion 3YO Colt.

Now covering his first book of mares at Coolmore, the son of Rubick started just three times last season for two seconds to Bivouac, who subsequently won both the Group I ATC Golden Rose and VRC Newmarket Handicap, before winning the $14 million Everest in course record time.

His Everest performance defeating Santa Ana Lane, Trekking and Nature Strip was undisputed as the single best performance by any three year-old last season and reflects the growing stature of what has become the world’s best sprint race on turf.

Yes Yes Yes stands at a fee of $38,500 this spring.
