Godolphin Enters The Fray for Zoustar Filly

Mark Smith - Sunday Jan 27

Making its presence felt on the opening day at Karaka, Godolphin honed in on a powerfully made chestnut daughter of Zoustar and had the final say at $600,000.

It was a home run for Cambridge Stud's Brendon and Jo Lindsay who had purchased the filly's dam Imanana (More Than Ready) for $370,000 as a yearling in 2012 through the same sale ring. She won nothing more than a maiden at Avondale in 13 starts but is a daughter of the Group 1 ARC Railway Stakes winner Imananabaa (Anabaa).

"She's the one we wanted - by a stallion doing great things and from a family like that, we knew we'd have to dig deep," Godolphin's Vin Cox told Racenet's Darryl Sherer.

"She's a really bold going filly and it's great Sheikh Mohammed is allowing us to buy quality horses like this for the stable."
