Metro Double for Zousain

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 18

Widden Stud’s exciting young sire Zousain made it a two state metro double on Wednesday with Amelita scoring at Canterbury and shortly after that he sired Bollinger Miss to win at Doomben.

Trained by Chris and Corey Munce, Bollinger Miss was fourth on debut back in May at her only other starts and has come back in good order to stalk the leader and power clear to win the 110m maiden by the best part of a length.

Bollinger Miss was a $150,000 Magic Millions purchase from Widden Stud for The Racing League /Munce Racing/Arthur Hoyeau and runs for a syndicate that includes The Racing League’s Queensland Rogues, so had plenty of owners to cheer her home.

Bollinger Miss was a $150,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Bred by Widden partnership, she is the second winner from Fancy Liquor, a placed half-sister by Not a Single Doubt to stakes-winner Office Bearer.

Fancy Lquor has a yearling filly by Portland Sky and has foaled this spring producing a colt by Written By.

Amelita and Bollinger Miss bring Zousain up to eight winners for the season and he leads the second crop sires table by winners.

A gorgeous looking son of Zoustar, Zousain has earned an increase in fee and stands at $27,500 this spring. He will over another big book of mares after servicing 762 in his first four seasons.
