03 Dec 2020

Strong sale for Zoustar foals at Tattersalls

The first foals offered at public auction from the debut Northern Hemisphere crop of Tweenhills’ international Gr.1 sire sensation Zoustar sold very well at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale.

15 Zoustars sold for an average price of 63,400gns (median 62,000gns) – a very good return given Zoustar stood his first season at Tweenhills in 2019 for £25,000. Zoustar will return to £25,000 for the 2021 breeding season at Tweenhills.

Three of the Zoustars sold for six figures. Top price was the colt out of dual Gr.1 winner La Collina (by Strategic Prince) from Kenilworth House Stud who sold for 150,000gns to Harry Sweeney’s Paca Paca Farm.

Next best was the colt out of Rue Cambon (an Exceed And Excel half-sister to Gr.1 winner Gorella) from Plantation Stud. He changed hands for 110,000gns when knocked down to Gay and Annette O’Callaghan’s Yeomanstown Stud.

The highest-priced of the five Zoustars offered by Tweenhills was a cracking colt out of Bewitchment (a Pivotal half-sister to Gr.1 winner Hooray) who sold for 100,000gns to David Howden, who also bought the Zoustar colt out of Listed-winning sprinter Castle Hill Cassie (by Casamento) for 80,000gns.

David Redvers signed for Mickley Stud’s Zoustar colt out of Listed winner Peach Melba (by Dream Ahead) for 90,000gns, while George Mullins Bloodstock and Jamie Railton bought Zoustar fillies for 92,000gns and 80,000gns respectively. The last-named filly was also consigned by Tweenhills.

Also, during the December Sales, Tweenhills' current resident stallions Kameko, Havana Gold and Lightning Spear had a very busy five days as they paraded for breeders and agents at Longholes. It was great to show off the fastest QIPCP 2000 Guineas winner in history before he embarks on his new career. Zoustar himself will return to Tweenhills just before Christmas.
