News - ZOUSAIN (AUS)

For a stallion whose service fee at Widden this spring is just $22,000, Zousain had some outstanding results at the Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale on Thursday with seven youngsters averaging $189,857 highlighted by a pair of 2YOs that sold for upwards of $400,000.

There were four heats at the Warwick Farm trials on Tuesday morning for juveniles and two were won by youngsters sired by Anders.

Group I winning Zoustar mare Climbing Star started life at Widden Stud as did $5.25million mare Zougotcha and now they will find themselves back together in the paddock at Coolmore after Tom Magnier purchased both of them at the Magic Millions National Sale on Tuesday.

With the breeding season fast approaching studs love it when a young sire gets a roll along as we head into spring and Widden Stud’s Zousain is doing just that posting his third winner in the last three days when Zousain Bolt scored at Hawkesbury on Thursday.

The highly-regarded Zousain filly, Chateau Miraval, lived up to the wraps when making a winning debut at Randwick Kensington on Wednesday, but it was a close-run thing.
