Zoustar Colt a Torryburn Magic Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 6
Riding the crest of a winning wave highlighted by the Torryburn Stud bred and sold Hong Kong star Hot King Prawn, the Cornish family owned farm will present a great draft at the 2019 Magic Millions with a colt by exciting young sire Zoustar the obvious highlight.

Torryburn bred and sold Hot King Prawn Exciting young sprinter Hot King Prawn soared through his grades in 2018 for leading trainer John Size taking his overall record to nine wins from 11 starts with a career best victory in the Group II BOCHK Wealth Management Jockey Club Sprint (1200m).

His success added to the long list of Torryburn Stud graduates, either bred, sold or raised that include Group I winners El Dorado Dreaming, Terravista and Group II winning course record holder Deploy.

Their Magic Millions draft features nine yearlings listed below including the full brother to Group III MVRC Australia Stakes winner Charge, a highly promising member of the Chris Waller stable.

Charge is one of seven stakes-winners by Zoustar, arguably the best young Australian sire we've seen for many years, who is currently in the UK preparing to serve his first Northern Hemisphere book of mares. 




Offered as Lot 39 on Wednesday, he is a stunning colt from Queen of the Falls, a half-sister by General Nediym to Group II winner Elite Falls.
