MISS YECHANCE, an Irish winner for South American connections at Meydan

Miss Yechance looks one to follow after her victory in the DP World Express Handicap, over 1000metres on turf.

Second on her UAE debut on dirt, the tiny filly was always up with the pace and got better as the race went on, lengthening close home to give jockey Francisco Leandro Goncalves his first UAE win and a first for Antonio Cintra and Julio Olascoaga since becoming a training partnership.

“I’m really happy, it’s a dream come true for me, said the Brazilian jockey. “I’d like to thank the team and the owners for their patience, as it took a little time to get my first winner, but we got there.

“She’s a really fast filly and she was much better today, more settled beforehand.”
