It was a stellar day of trade for Widden Stud on Sunday at Inglis Easter with Zoustar producing four of the top six lots sold and Widden had the honour of selling the session topper with the stunning filly from Group I winner Prompt Response fetching $2.2million to the bid of James Harron Bloodstock.
She is the third foal of $1.6million earner Prompt Response, who was bought by Widden as a broodmare prospect and her two previous foals sold for $500,000 (colt by I Am Invincible) and $1.3 million (filly by I Am Invincible).
