Tara Madgwick - Saturday Jan 27

Placed in the Group I ATC Randwick Guineas, Golden Rose and Group II ATC Hobartville Stakes last year as a colt, talented four year-old Zou Tiger has always promised to win a stakes race and finally got the job done as a gelding scoring a stylish victory in the $200,000 Listed ATC Carrington Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday.

Trained by John O’Shea and ridden by Zac Lloyd, Zou Tiger was having his third run back from a spell after being gelded and was fit and ready to fire. He gave his rider an easy task, travelling on the pace and kicking clear for a dominant three length win.

It was just the second win for Zou Tiger, who has the overall record of two wins and seven placings from 13 starts with prizemoney topping $540,000. With this confidence building win under his belt it should be onwards an upwards for Zou Tiger.
