Wootton Bassett (GB) already has his stripes as a sire of sires thanks to Almanzor (Fr), but one of his other Group I winning sons Wooded (IRE) was credited with his first stakes-winner overnight when Woodshauna took out the Listed Prix Monetenica (1300m) at Chantilly.

Zoustar is one of the hottest sires in the country right now producing last Saturday’s Group I VRC Newmarket Handicap winner Joliestar with 35 of his glamour yearlings set to light up the sale ring next month at Inglis Easter, but it was one of his cheapest yearlings that became his latest stakes-winner at Canberra on Sunday.
