The half-brother to G1 winner Youngstar will be a highlight for Bowness at ClassicBased at Young in New South Wales, John North's Bowness Stud sell at all the major sales in Australia and their drafts in 2016 included a High Chaparral (IRE) filly who is now the best Australian bred staying mare in the country.

A $200,000 purchase for Anton Koolman Bloodstock, Youngstar was a dominant winner of the Group I Queensland Oaks last year and confirmed her staying talent with a seventh in the Caulfield Cup and sixth in the Melbourne Cup.
