Two
Widden sires combined to bring us our one to watch from Mornington on Thursday
with an impressive new Zoustar winner.
Making his debut, the Robbie Laing trained Zoumanor was a well backed second
favourite and showed good natural speed to sit outside the lead before producing
a good turn of foot to take control of the race into the straight and won like
a horse that will graduate out of the maiden class successfully.
Zoumanor is by Zoustar out of the Stratum mare Eramor, a stakes winner of the Listed
Debutante Stakes at Caulfield as a juvenile.
He was purchased by Robbie Laing, Ray Montague and Neil Jenkinson for $200,000 at the 2017 Magic Millions Gold Coast
Yearling Sale from the draft of Musk Creek Farm.
The colt becomes the 13th winner so far this season for Zoustar who
sits atop the second season sires list by prizemoney and second by winners.
He has two colts listed for sale at next week’s Inglis Ready2Race Sale and one
at the NZB Ready To Run Sale of 2YOs in November.
Zoumanor is the second foal of Eramor and first winner. She has a two-year-old
by Toronado, wasn’t served in 2017 and was sent to So You Think last season.
