Racing Career
The horse made his French debut when unseating his rider in a 3-year-old hurdle at Compeigne in France in September 2004 and raced four more times in France.
Voy Por Ustedes made his English debut at Lingfield on the 11 December 2004, when still trained by Guillaume Macaire and unseated his rider in a Grade 2 Novice Hurdle. Million in Mind then purchased the gelding as a replacement for Massac, who was trained for the Partnership by Alan King. Massac died in a fall at Cheltenham - the same day that Voy por Ustedes unseated his rider at Lingfield..
As with all Million in Mind Partnership horses, Voy por Ustedes was sold by auction at the Doncaster Bloodstock Sales at the end of the National Hunt Season in May 2005. He was purchased by Sir Robert Ogden for 106,000 guineas, and remained in training with Alan King at Burbury Castle until 2011 when he moved to the yard of Nicky Henderson.

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or career:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
