A Star Rising

  • Zoustar -- This young sire stands at the valley of champions," Widden Stud" . His first season of runners have been excellent and on wednesday at Balaclava his daughter,'' Be My Star'' trained by Tony Mcevoy and ridden by in form jockey, Jamie Kah, won easily over 1050m. He is a dual group one winning stallion by Encosta De Lago's son, Northern Meteor and he has the Redoutes Choice blood on his female side through his dam, Zouzou. I believe he is the stallion to follow from this years new comers.  

Chris Waller on Zoustar -- “He was that good, I could of prepared him for the Golden Slipper however given I thought he was bred to be at his best at Three we were happy to wait. What he did achieve at Two was just a glimpse of his natural ability. An equine machine.”

  • Lonhro and Redoutes Choice -- At Warwick Farm on Wednesday we saw a race to race double for this nick. The two races were benchmark 78 and both trained by James Cummings. This is the same nick that the classy three year old, "Kementari", is bred on. The 3yo Lonhro colt, 'Revenire' was ridden by Tye Angland over the 1100m and is out of the mare, Come Hither. While in the last, Josh Parr got Schubert home over the 1300m. The 3yo Lonhro geldings dam is Ringstrasse. Runner up to Schubert was another Lonhro gelding Beacon.
