Magic Millions First Season Sires – Zousain

Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 1

Breednet’s popular First Season Sire Gallery pages are now created offering a fast and easy way to compare yearlings by the new wave of sires on type, so let’s take a look at the most represented of all the newbies at this sale in Zousain.

Zousain - click for more info.

Selected by Widden Stud to continue the legacy of his sire Zoustar and his grand-sire Northern Meteor, Zousain is a mirror image of his sire, whose stocks have soared in 2022.

Zousain was a $400,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Edinglassie Stud draft and retired as a Group II winner of over $746,000, but his three Group I seconds are the true indication of his class.

A debut winner over 1000m in February as a juvenile, he won the Group II BRC Champagne Stakes (1200m) and closed out his 2YO season with a neck second to The Autumn Sun in the Group I BRC JJ Atkins.

Zousain just misses to champion filly Sunlight in the 2018 Coolmore Stud Stakes in which Zoustar sired the trifecta with Lean Mean Machine in third place.

The Autumn Sun again proved his nemesis in the Group I ATC Golden Rose when he went down by a head and then he struck another champion in Zoustar filly Sunlight when beaten a head by her in the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes.

On the pedigree front, Zousain is all Aussie speed on top through Zoustar and his dam is imported Irish bred Group III winning sprinter Pasar Silbano, whose family is all European speed.

He has 36 yearlings catalogued in Books 1 and 2 with images below.
