Chris Waller has trained the two best fillies bred on the Zoustar x Fastnet Rock cross in Joliestar and Zougtotcha, who between them have won six G1 races and over $9million in prizemoney, so it was no wonder when he and Guy Mulcaster secured the Zoustar filly from Nudge at Inglis Premier on Sunday for $850,000.
Consigned by Two Bays Farm, the filly was bred by Two Bays in partnership with members of the Treweeke family and is the second foal of Group III winner Nudge, who was also trained by Waller and won over $1.2million with a couple of G1 placings also on her CV.
She was knocked down to Chris Waller Racing / Mulcaster Bloodstock / Group One Bloodstock / Ozzie Kheir.
Two Bays Farm sold the full sister to this filly at this sale last year for $300,000 to Grahame Begg/ Rohan Hughes Bloodstock and she has been named Wink wink, but is yet to race.
Nudge had a year off after that and was covered by Broadsiding last spring.
Footnote: The Zoustar x Fastnet Rock nick runs at 82.5% winners to runner with eight SW’s bred this way at 12.6% SW to runner.
