Rockfel Stakes scorer Hello You produces giant boost for Arqana-bound sibling
Filly is out of a half-sister to Prix Maurice de Gheest scorer Signs Of Blessing
Hello You's maiden Group win in the Rockfel Stakes will have done her Kodiac three-part sister's value no harm before her date with destiny at Arqana's October Yearling Sale late next month.
Bred by Serge Boucheron, the daughter of Invincible Spirit made a sizeable €350,000 to Robson Aguiar at last year's Select Yearling Sale before heading into training with Ralph Beckett.
A winner on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, she then placed in the Albany Stakes and Duchess of Cambridge Stakes behind Sandrine before switching to David Loughnane's yard.
Despite being by a sire who has produced top-class milers such as Kingman, Magna Grecia and Territories, and being cut to around 20-1 in the market for next year's 1,000 Guineas, Hello You is not guaranteed to relish a step up to a mile through her page at least.
The two-year-old is the fourth foal out of the Pivotal mare Lucrece, a three-time winner at seven furlongs and a half-sister to Prix Maurice de Gheest scorer Signs Of Blessing, a top-class sprinting son of Invincible Spirit, and to Admire Fuji, by Oasis Dream and a 12-time winner over a mile to a mile and a half.
Hello You is in turn a three-part sister to the useful Ajyaall, a Kingman gelding whose second and latest success came over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last autumn, and Lufricia, a daughter of Kodiac who won her novice over five furlongs.
Her length-and-a-half success over Aclaim filly Cachet will come as a further boost to Ecurie des Monceaux, which consigns the Group 2 winner's sibling at Arqana.
Further back in her page is the Prix Saint-Alary winner and Prix de Diane second Nadia, Japanese Grade 2 scorer Kongo Rikishio and Dream Bay, the grand dam of Gamely Stakes heroine Sophie P.
