• Hello Youmzain wins Group One race at 9-2• ‘Next year, he’s going to be bigger and stronger’Sprint races, in horse racing, may take place over three-quarters of a mile and last for more than a minute but the start can still be all-important. Back in high summer, Hello Youmzain blew his Royal Ascot chance by throwing his head around in the stalls and failing to notice for a crucial second that they had opened in front of him, but he looked a lot more professional on Saturday on his way to winning the Betfair Sprint Cup here, providing a career highlight for his trainer, Kevin Ryan.
This time it was The Tin Man who got the start wrong, stumbling for a stride as the gates opened and throwing Oisín Murphy up in the air. Meanwhile, Hello Youmzain was already mixing it up front with the outsiders Invincible Army and Major Jumbo.
