First Win for Zoustar Half-Brother

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 4
The Coolmore team in Ireland produced an interesting maiden winner overnight at Galway with two year-old Galileo colt Emperor of the Sun saluting at his second start.

Australian broodmare Zouzou was bought by Coolmore and sent to IrelandA half-brother to Champion 3YO Sprinter and now leading sire Zoustar, Emperor of the Sun is trained by Aidan O'Brien and was third on debut at Killarney last month.

Sent out a hot favourite for this 1m maiden, Emperor of the Sun raced very greenly for Donnacha O'Brien, but was still too classy in scoring a three-quarter length win.

He is the fourth winner from six foals to race from Redoute's Choice mare Zouzou, who was bought by Coolmore for $775,000 at the 2014 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and sent to Ireland to be covered by Galileo.

Emperor of the Sun is her second foal born in the Northern Hemisphere and her first winner there, with the previous NH bred foal, a three year-old filly by Galileo called At Last selling for 420,000 at the recent Tattersalls July Sale to bloodstock agent Mick Flanagan after four unplaced runs.

Zouzou produced another colt by Galileo last year.

She has two daughters at stud in Australia in Ciarlet and Holly Zou, so their owners will be hoping one of these Irish bred Galileo youngsters can bring international success to the family
