Zoustar got plenty of quality in his first book of mares at Tweenhills including high-class racemares La Collina and Temida and the dams of Group 1-placed two-year-olds Golden Horde and Tropbeau.

Currently standing at Widden at a fee of $154,000, Zoustar will cover a strictly limited book of 125 mares in 2020.
