THE YII CREW

Patrick and Viviana Yii have bred some outstanding horses over the years, not the least of them being Kenny’s Best Pal’s 2YO stakes winner Firenza.
Well, it could be that the Yiis have another very good neddy out of that family with the Stratum 2YO, American Crew, scoring a gutsy victory over 1300m at Rosehill on Saturday (8 May).
It followed hot on the heels of a solid second at Canterbury at the end of April and the Chris Waller trained bay appears to have his share of ability.
Sold by Eliza Park to BC3 at last year’s Gold Coast Magic Millions for $170,000, American Crew is out of the Danehill Dancer mare Beauty World, a multiple winning half sister to Firenza, both hailing from the Stage Hit family.
