COMMENTS AND PROSPECT:
ZOUSTAR was trained by Chris Waller with a record of 6 wins in 9 starts including G1 Golden Rose Stakes and Ascot Vale Stakes (Coolmore Stud Stakes). He was welcomed by the breeders when he joined the stallion roster in 2014 with 59 black type contests winners; SUNLIGHT, champion of Magic Millions 2YO Classic, Ascot Vale Stakes(Coolmore Stud Stakes),Newmarket Handicap and William Reid Stakes, is his representative. Also, in the Ascot Vale Stakes, the 1st runner up ZOUSAIN and 2nd runner up LEAN MEAN MACHINE were also sired by ZOUSTAR. HEALTHY HAPPY, who lifted 2021 The Hong Kong Classic Cup, is his best runner in HK. In 2024, his service fee is AUD$ 275,000.
HALO OF SUCCESS was formerly known as DARK HALO that owned by Vinery Stud & partners and trained by Ciaron Maher & David Eustace in Australia with 1 win in 3 starts. After 6 barrier trials, he led all the way to win a 1100M event on his debut at Wyong, then he was weakened late to finish 7th in a 1200M listed race with 9 runners at Caulfield and missed the start to finish last in a 1000M contest with 4 runners at Moonee Valley. Half-brother KALKALLO collected 1 win and 1 second in 2 starts up to written date. Being a grandson of WRITTEN TYCOON, the bay gelding should be a precocious sprinter.
