What we do know is that Hello You Ten comes from a yard in fine form. Trainer Jamie Osborne operates out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, and his team have sent out 48 winners already this season — that is a serious return, and it tells you this is a stable that knows how to get a horse ready to run well. When Osborne brings a young horse to the track, it is usually because they believe it is worth the trip.
As for the breeding, Hello You Ten is by Hello Youmzain — a fast, high-class sprinter during his own racing days — out of a mare by Marchand De Sable. Breeding is never a guarantee of anything, but it gives you a rough idea of what a horse might be built for, and this is a pedigree that suggests speed. Beyond that, today's race will tell us more than any family tree ever could.
