Zoustar Tops 2023 Roster At Tweenhills At 30k

[Wandering Eyes]

Zoustar (Aus), the sire of the Cartier 2-Year-Old Filly and G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Lezoo (GB), will stand for £30,000 at Tweenhills Stud in 2023. One of the leading sires in Australia, the reverse shuttler stood for £25,000 in 2022.

He leads a four-strong roster for Qatar Racing that also includes G1 2000 Guineas hero Kameko at £15,000, down from £20,000 this year. His first foals will be yearlings in 2023. Havana Gold (Ire) has been trimmed to £10,000 from £12,500. His five 2022 stakes winners are led by G2 Sandy Lane S. winner El Caballo (GB), while his Group 1-winning son Havana Grey (GB) leads all British-based first-crop sires to date. Group 1 winner Lightning Spear (GB)'s fee is unchanged at £5,000, and five of his eight runners have won.

Tweenhills owner David Redvers said, “We are extremely excited to welcome Zoustar back to Tweenhills for his fifth Northern Hemisphere covering season. He has got off to a fantastic start with his first runners here and, standing at a fraction of his Australian stud fee of AU$198,000, he is a real coup for European breeders.

“We have been so excited by Kameko's first crop of foals, some of whom will sell at the sales later this month. A record-breaking miler at two and three, he offers outstanding value at £15,000.

“Havana Gold is a proven value sire. His first son to stud, Group 1 winner Havana Grey, has already been crowned GB Champion First-Season Sire and Havana Gold still has his best-quality crops to run.

“Lightning Spear's first runners have done very well. With his improved fertility, a fee of £5,000 offers exceptional value for an extremely talented, tough and durable son of Pivotal.”

Kameko, Havana Gold and Lightning Spear will be paraded for breeders at Longholes Stud in Newmarket during this year's Tattersalls December Sales from Sunday, Nov. 27 to Wednesday, Nov. 30.
