Zoustar was the dominant force at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale in Victoria this week finishing as the leading sire by aggregate and average as well as siring the equal highest priced colt and top priced filly.

His eight weanlings sold for $1,116,000 at an average $139,500.

His top seller was a colt from proven producer Morwell that made $250,000 for Merrivale Farm when bought by J Wheeler/ Jason Warren Racing Stables.

“To come here and top the sale with a beautiful colt who had so many parades and so many appreciative viewers is wonderful,” said Jen Fowler of Merrivale Farm.

Not far behind was a Zoustar colt from Kiss in the Rain that made $230,000 for Blue Gum Farm when bought by Redwall Bloodstock.

Also providing a big result was the Zoustar filly from Queen of the Creek (USA) that made $200,000 for Swettenham Stud when bought by Maluka Thoroughbreds/ Kilgravin.

“He is a stallion who does the job and she is a beautiful filly who is a great mover and we were really happy to secure her for a fair price,” said Luke Anderson of Maluka Thoroughbreds.
