Funstar's Kizuna Colt Sells for $1,682,000

Mark Smith - Tuesday July 11

While not quite matching the ¥210 million for the yearling Kizuna (JPN) colt from her half-sister Youngstar, the first foal of the Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Funstar, also by Kizuna (JPN), proved highly sought after, with Danox Co.Ltd. having the final say at ¥160million (A$1,682,000).

Funstar (Adelaide) was purchased by Katumi Yoshida for $2.7million through Inglis Online Digital in July 2021.
