Zoustar Saturday Stakes Treble - Pedigree Watch

Tara Madgwick - Sunday Apr 5

Reigning champion sire Zoustar posted a stakes double at Randwick with his highest ever stake earner Joliestar winning the G1 ATC TJ Smith and his undefeated 3YO filly Plaintiff capturing the G3 ATC PJ Bell, while in South Australia Zoupurring won the Listed Oakbank Railway.

Zoustar is one stallion that has had exceptional success breeding back to mares with Danehill blood and all three of those stakes-winners have multiple lines of the legendary sire and Plaintiff has three 4 x 4 x 4, plus a double cross of Encosta de Lago 3 x 4.

Her  pedigree is one that will excite the breeding nerds out there!
