Solar Charged Story Continues at Inglis Easter

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 8

The latest chapter in the story of Widden Stud’s star producer Solar Charged played out at Inglis Easter on Monday when her colt by Zoustar sold for $850,000, then her champion daughter Sunlight made a splash when her Wootton Bassett (GB) colt sold for $1.4million and at the Randwick trials her 2YO daughter Clean Energy was an impressive winner.

$850,000 Zoustar colt from Solar Charged.

Offered as Lot 304 by Widden, the tenth foal of Solar Charged was knocked down to China Horse Club / Newgate / Go Bloodstock / Trilogy, NSW which was well short of the prices made by his full siblings in recent years with a filly selling for $2.6million last year and a colt the year before for $3million.

The Chris Waller trained $3million colt Kandinsky Abstract runs for the Coolmore partners and resumed from a spell to score his second win from six starts last week at Warwick Farm, while the filly Clean Energy trialled at Randwick on Monday morning for the Waterhouse Bott stable.

Running in the Yulong colours for partnership that also includes Coolmore, Clean Energy was having her second trial, but first this year and travelled deep all the way before forging clear to win her 735m scamper by more than a length hard held running away.

The second foal of Sunlight was offered by Coolmore as Lot 329 and the Wootton Bassett (GB) colt was the subject of keen interest with plenty of competition before he was knocked down to Paul Moroney Bloodstock/ Catheryne Bruggerman , NSW.

$1.4million Wootton Bassett (GB) colt from Sunlight.

Solar Charged missed in 2022 so had no foal last year, but is now back in foal to Zoustar, while Sunlight has a weanling filly by Home Affairs and is in foal to Justify (USA).
