A strong colt, grandson of Zoustar, with a proven dam-line of black type winners
To get real quality at the Adelaide Sales, you sometimes have to dig a bit deeper into the pocket, though it wasn’t too hard to justify for this imposing son of Zousain out of a So You Think mare, High Beam.
A strong individual with a real presence about him, we expect him to be up and running as a 2-year-old. He will be sure to catch the eye in the parade ring in the future, his strength and his size along with a confident walk give us every indication he will be a forward and progressive colt.
Zousain was a precocious son of the hugely successful stallion, Zoustar. Widden Stud, who stand both stallions, report Zousain to be a near physical replica of his sire. He was a Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed at age 2, and at age 3 had a very similar path as his sire, running close seconds in the Golden Rose and Coolmore and matching form with the likes of Sunlight and The Autumn Sun. With a difference in service fee of $250,000, Zousain represents incredible value for those seeking strength, speed and quality in their yearling purchases.
High Beam is a two-time winning daughter of the enigmatic So You Think. This is her third foal with two yet to race. Most notable her half-sister Watch You Step produced the well-known Group performer Steparty, who strung together an incredible sequence of 5 wins in the 2023-24 racing season including a Caulfield Guineas prelude. The 3rd dam Tyrises boasts an impressive record of 11 foals, 8 to race with a perfect record of 8 winners. Three of these were black type and notably one of the unraced fillies, De Groove, produced 6 winners including 4 stakes winners who together amassed approximately $3.5 million in prizemoney.
This is a colt to give you every chance of mixing with the best
