Ever So Close for $2.2m Zoustar Mare

The four day Flemington Cup Carnival has been a showcase for expensive seven figure yearling purchases with G1 victories for The Next Episode ($2.8m) and Autumn Glow ($1.8m), plus a G3 victory for Lady Catalina ($1.8m) and on Saturday we very nearly saw $2.2m Zoustar mare Plaintiff add her name to the list.

Zoustar 2YO Filly Wins Kirkham Plate

The $160,000 ATC Kirkham Plate (1000m) does not carry Black Type, but the race is often a good guide to the $1million Listed ATC Golden Gift next month and a very competitive field lined up at Randwick on Saturday with Chris Waller producing the quinella.

Joliestar Confirmed for Waller Racing Everest Slot

Australia’s reigning champion sprinter Joliestar will get her third crack at an Everest next week with Chris Waller Racing announcing the six year-old Zoustar mare as their contender for this year’s race.

Zoustar Stakes-Winner Ends Stellar Caulfield Program

With eight of nine races on the program at Caulfield on Sunday being stakes races it’s been a star studded day and the finale came with the Listed MVRC Testa Rossa Stakes (1440m) won by long short Regal Zeus, who led all the way to win.

First Foal for Bella Nipotina

With Everest talk filling social media and traditional air waves at present it’s only fitting that the 2024 Everest winner should get a piece of the action with Longwood Thoroughbred Farm announcing Bella Nipotina has safely produced her first foal.

One to Watch – Geelong

An impressive debut win at Geelong for a blueblood Zoustar filly trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman was always going to warrant further investigation on an otherwise quiet Friday.
