A colt by Zoustar out of Solar Charged at Widden Stud.

He’s a full-brother to Champion sprinter Sunlight and the dam has had three yearlings sell for over a million dollars, the latest of them being the unbeaten Clean Energy, a listed winner at her second start.

She’s been to Zoustar in nine of her last 11 seasons.
