Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse Horses Available 13084 Zoustarsword Of Light 24

By Zoustar, one of Australia’s greatest ever stallions, this colt carries the sort of profile that immediately stands out. Zoustar is operating at a level very few sires can match, with 11 individual Group 1 winners and 72 individual stakes winners, and he continues to dominate at the top level season after season.

What gives this colt real edge is the strength and timing of the page underneath. He is out of Sword Of Light, a Group 2-winning daughter of New Approach, and her page received a major update when his half brother Beskar won the Listed Darby Munro Stakes. Sword Of Light was a high-class race filly herself, and she is already proving she can produce sharp, quality runners.

The female family has real depth as well as current momentum. Sword Of Light is a half sister to stakes winner Sword Of Justice, while the deeper page runs through Razor Blade, a Group 3 winner who became a genuine blue hen, leaving Group 1 winner Flamberge along with Sunburnt Land, Durendal and Curtana. It is a family that keeps producing fast, tough horses that can perform at black type level.

This is the sort of colt that reads beautifully. Zoustar on top, a Group 2-winning mare underneath, a timely update through Beskar, and a family loaded with proven speed. He has the physical to match the page and gives owners every reason to get excited.
