Bon Ho Buys $900,000 Zoustar Colt

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 6

Hong Kong based Everest winning owner Bon Ho was one of the biggest buyers at Inglis Easter last year and stepped back into the fray at Riverside Stables on Tuesday to purchase a stunning Zoustar colt from Swiss Rose for $900,000.
 


Consigned by Segenhoe, the striking chestnut is a half-brother to Group III winner Bella Rosa from stakes-winner Swiss Rose, a half-sister to Group III winner Prom Queen from the family of Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Catnipped.

$900,000 Zoustar colt from Swiss Rose.

Bon Ho has already enjoyed success this season with exciting undefeated Zoustar colt Starry Legend, who recently won the $250,000 VOBIS Gold Rush at Bendigo.

He also purchased Starry Legend from Segenhoe and Peter O’Brien is hoping this colt can deliver similar success.

Unbeaten Zoustar colt Starry Legend is a rising star for the Bon Ho stable .
