Zoustar Colt Growing Empire Confirmed for Everest
The last piece of Everest puzzle has fallen into place with news Yulong will fill their slot for the $20million sprint on October 19 with three year-old Zoustar colt Growing Empire.
The Ciaron Maher trained colt has been on an upward swing throughout the spring with two stakes wins and a very close second in the Group I MVRC Manikato Stakes last month.

He is the third runner in this year’s race for Ciaron Maher joining Bella Nipotina and I Am Me and is the second for his sire Zoustar joining Joliestar.
