In what is a very exciting sign for this colt, Zoustar is one of if not the most exciting sire in Australia today. Another positive is that the horse’s dam is by Canny Lad, a Golden Slipper winner whose bloodlines are well sort after.
A great indicator of this colt’s potential is the way he handled himself at the sales at Magic Millions which illustrates his maturity and his ability to handle pressure. This colt has a great personality, laid back and focused.
What the star jockey says
“What we also really like about this horse is that his bloodlines go back to Canny Lad, a Golden Slipper winner whose bloodlines are so well sort after and it’s very exciting that this horse is going to David Hayes: a very well known two-year-old trainer.”
