Zoustar Share Tops Inglis Digital at $850,000

Media Release - Thursday Apr 30

A share in reigning Champion Stallion Zoustar has topped the Inglis Digital April (Late) Online Sale, selling today for $850,000.

The share was offered as part of the first Inglis Digital online sale to close out across multiple days.

Today’s Australian Broodmare Sale Session produced some impressive results, with strong competition across the most appealing lots.

The Zoustar share – offered by Qatar Bloodstock – sold to Richard Pegum’s Red And Green Bloodstock.

A share in reigning champion sire Zoustar sold for $850,000.

Pegum purchased Group performed mare Dancing Alone at last year’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $875,000 and bought the Zoustar share to gain access to the stallion for last year’s acquisition.

“Dancing Alone is a half sister to Growing Empire so by putting her to Zoustar, she’ll be carrying a three-quarter to Growing Empire which I think would be pretty handy pregnancy, it makes sense to me,’’ Pegum said.

“I bred Zousain with Zoustar so I have a bit of an affinity with the stallion so it’s nice to have the equity there now too.

“When I saw the share come online I was pretty keen to get it and while it took a bit of toing and froing, it’s good to have it all done now.’’

The Zoustar share comes alongside a breeding right in Anamoe, which sold yesterday to Julia Ritchie’s Bangaloe Stud for $450,000.
