Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse Horses Available 12313 Zoustarready To Prophet 24

This filly is by Australia’s champion sire Zoustar, a proven source of elite fillies including Sunlight, Zougotcha and Joliestar. The Zoustar over Fastnet Rock cross is operating at 12% stakes winners to runners with three Group 1 winners, and this filly brings an outstanding on track reference through her dam Ready To Prophet, a Listed winner and Group placed mare who was a high class performer for the Waterhouse/Bott team, winning black type and finishing third at Group level. With Smart Missile as broodmare sire, the pedigree also taps into proven top-end performance through horses such as multiple Group 1 winner Riff Rocket and the Waterhouse/Bott runner The Three Hundred. The wider female line carries international class, including Group 1 winners Itsmyluckyday and Astronomer Royal.

Physically, she is a well-grown filly with a strong forearm and gaskin, a square hindquarter and an efficient action that helps her travel over the ground well. She has a real racehorse look and the type of athletic build that should suit a speed focused Australian program, while the pedigree gives her both early upside and residual value. Offered through the Widden consignment, one of Australia’s leading nurseries whose recent graduates include Group 1 winners Zougotcha, Schwarz and Griff, she shapes as a filly with plenty to like physically and on paper both paper.
