Juvenile Trial Watch – Eagle Farm

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday October 24

Couple of heats for juveniles Eagle Farm on Tuesday held some interest with a super impressive winner for first season sire Zousain, who beat a blueblood Lonhro filly with a story.

Recorded as a $120,000 Magic Millions purchase from Book 2, Zouna had an issue with the scope so his sale was cancelled and he now runs for his breeders with Lawrie Mayfield-Smith the trainer.

Zouna was having his first trial and looked to have plenty of talent pulling clear of blue-blood Lonhro filly Ending Sweet with nearly eight lengths back to the third horse. He clocked 45.99 seconds for the 800m trial with the last 600m in 33.19 seconds.

Zouna was retained to race by his breeders.

Zouna is one of a flurry of promising trial horses for Widden Stud’s first season sire Zousain and he is the second foal of unraced Camelot(IRE)  mare Campagna, who is from a sister to stakes-winner Digitalism.

Runner-up Ending Sweet is trained by Tony Gollan for B2B Thoroughbreds and is appropriately named being the last foal of now retired blue hen Leone Chiara, the dam of eight winners from 10 foals to race headed by dual Group I winner and sire Star Witness, Group III winner Nostradamus and stakes-winner Embracer.

Both Zouna and Ending Sweet will be well worth following to race day!
