For Syndication

We are thrilled to offer a unique opportunity to join the ownership of an exciting young racehorse &ndash; a gelding by Widden Stud&rsquo;s highly promising sire, Zousain, out of a winning Redoute&rsquo;s Choice mare, Fairy Wand.
A Proven Performer in the Making 🔥
Purchased in partnership with Regal Bloodstock at the 2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, this gelding has demonstrated immense potential from the moment he stepped into our stable.
He showcased his class with an impressive jump-out win at Morphettville last November, where he put a clear margin on his rivals, highlighting his professionalism and natural ability.
Jockey Lachy Neindorf was highly impressed with his performance:
&ldquo;I was very happy guys, he&rsquo;s such a professional, very composed. He pinged the lids and travelled on the bridle. The most impressive thing was that when I gave him a squeeze, he kept himself composed and didn&rsquo;t lose his action.
He lengthened beautifully, he has a nice stride on him. When you ask him to go to full flight, he quickly put two lengths on the field and put them away quite nicely. So, there&rsquo;s something there for sure.&rdquo; 🏇💨
&mdash; Lachy Neindorf, November 12th, 2024
Why Zousain? 
We have immense confidence in Zousain, a young sire who is making a significant impact. We currently have seven of his progeny in the stable and have already enjoyed notable success, including Group 3-placed The Dabble Effect and exciting juvenile filly La Roux.
A son of the champion Zoustar, Zousain was an elite performer himself:
<ul>
<li>Group 2 winner and dual Group 1 runner-up as a 2YO 🎖️</li>
<li>2nd in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington, finishing just 0.2L behind Sunlight 🏆</li>
<li>Runner-up in the Group 1 Golden Rose, finishing 0.2L behind The Autumn Sun 🥈</li>
<li>One of the fastest and best-credentialed sons of Zoustar ⚡</li>
<li>Yearlings have fetched up to $650k, $525k, and $500k in sales and are averaging $105k in 2025 💰</li>
<li>Already sired Group 3 winners Drifting and Amelita, as well as the Listed-winning filly Bellazaine 🏇</li>
</ul>
Exceptional Pedigree &amp; Family Success 🏆
This gelding comes from a quality dam line, adding further confidence to his racing credentials:
<ul>
<li>Out of Fairy Wand, a winning daughter of Redoute&rsquo;s Choice &ndash; one of Australia&rsquo;s most influential broodmare sires. 🌟</li>
