One to Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 3

A $100,000 super maiden at Warwick Farm on Wednesday was a target race for astute trainer David Pfieffer and he duly got the cash with the heavily backed favourite.

Having his first start, three year-old Zoustar gelding Ice Kool put the writing on the wall with a recent five length trial win at Rosehill and punters were confident he could repat the effort on race day.

With Jason Collett in the saddle, Ice Kool dished out a galloping lesson to his rivals, skipping clear to win the 1000m contest by three and a half lengths in a slick 56.31 seconds, which set a new class record.

Ice Kool was passed in at Magic Millions when offered in the Widden draft and runs for a big syndicate of owners headed by Strong Bloodstock.

He banked nearly $60,000 for his first win and looks a bright prospect going forward.

Ice Kool is the second winner from stakes-winning Showcasing (GB) mare So Far Sokool, a daughter of Group III Sokool.

So Far Sokool has no yearling for the sales this year, but produced a filly by Zousain this spring.

Widden will offer a close relation to Ice Kool at MM 2026 in Lot 1024, a filly by Zousain from Showcasing (GB) mare Claudia Shiver, a three-quarter sister to So Far Sokool.
