The brilliant Zoustar mare has won a Group Two Emancipation Stakes, Group Three Nivison Stakes and Group Three James HB Carr Stakes and earned her Star Thoroughbreds syndicate of owners almost $1 million.

Across her career she has defeated a swag of Group One winners including Amelia's Jewel, Manaal, Zougotcha, Fireburn and Magic Time.

"She is a good, tough, sound and strong mare," trainer Chris Waller said. "She is a great type - from conformation through to size and strength. She has a great temperament, great colour and has always been a healthy mare."

"She was an exciting racehorse who performed on all track surfaces."

"By a great stallion with a good pedigree - she's the type of mare we all go to the sales for, regardless of what the progeny is by, and buy the yearlings out of these mares," Waller added.

While her racetrack career was top shelf Olentia comes with an incredible pedigree.

She is one of 10 winners, from 10 to race, for the twice winning Anabaa blue hen mare Mabkhara.

As well as Olentia, Mabkhara is the dam of Group Three winner Wandabaa, multiple stakes winner Malkovich and the group performed Seewhatshebrings. 

"Olentia was a $310,000 Gold Coast Yearling Sale purchase in 2021 and a filly we followed closely during her career," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. 

"Star Thoroughbreds have had a remarkable record with their fillies on the track and Olentia continued this trend during a wonderful career."

"Olentia is by a champion sire in Zoustar and is from the real blue hen producer in Mabkhara."

"Few mares with her racetrack record and pedigree come up for sale each year and this mare presents an incredible opportunity."

"We are grateful to Denise Martin and her Star Thoroughbreds syndicate of owners for providing us with an opportunity to present Olentia at our Virtual Sale," Bowditch added.

The 2025 Magic Millions August Virtual Sale will take place on Tuesday, August 5. Entries for the sale are closing soon - to enter online click here.
