$500,000 Zoustar Colt Sells at MM Weanling Sale

Zoustar had the highest priced colt at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale on Sunday with Holbrook Thoroughbreds well rewarded for the half-brother to Group II winner Steinem from Thai Noon (IRE).

He is the fourth foal of blueblood Dansili mare Thai Noon (IRE), whose next three dams are all stakes-winners tracing back to European Champion 2YO Filly Miss Tahiti.

He was bought by Yulong with the plan of re-offering him at a yearling sale next year.

“Zoustar is obviously a fantastic stallion on the track and the sale ring, and this is a lovely colt. At this stage, we’re planning to take him back through as a yearling,” Yulong CEO Sam Fairgray said.

“We’ve done it previously and he’s a colt that, I think as a yearling, he’s going to keep on growing and developing and into a very, very nice individual.

“He’s a very attractive colt with plenty of strength and substance about him and moves very well. So he is what buyers will be looking for as a yearling, and we will take him back to Victoria now and we’ll grow him out and get him to a yearling sale next year.”
