Based at Young in New South Wales, John North's Bowness Stud sell at all the major sales in Australia and their drafts in 2016 included a High Chaparral (IRE) filly who is now the best Australian bred staying mare in the country.
A $200,000 purchase for Anton Koolman Bloodstock, Youngstar was a dominant winner of the Group I Queensland Oaks last year and confirmed her staying talent with a seventh in the Caulfield Cup and sixth in the Melbourne Cup.
Winx might be the stable star for champion trainer Chris Waller, but Youngstar is a real staying star of the future as she achieves full maturity and fulfils her true potential.
With a fine track record for producing countless winners and also serious stakes horses, Bowness is a great place to source your next champion.
