She is the third foal of $1.6million earner Prompt Response, who was bought by Widden as a broodmare prospect and her two previous foals sold for $500,000 (colt by I Am Invincible) and $1.3 million (filly by I Am Invincible).

She was bought by James Harron Bloodstock on behalf of John Camilleri of Fairway Thoroughbreds so will get every opportunity to succeed.

Zoustar also had the highest priced colt with Segenhoe Stud thrilled with $1.9million for the third foal of Group I placed stakes-winner Fundamentalist that was bought by Tom Magnier.
