Zousain is surging to the end of the season with a double of new 2YO winners on Sunday bringing his seasonal tally of juvenile winners to 13.
Scoring on debut at Ballarat on the synthetic track for the Shane Nichols stable was promising gelding Must be Sain, who hung on with tenacity to win the 1100m maiden by half a length over I Am Invincible filly Lady Verity.
A $55,000 Magic Millions Tasmania purchase from the Grenville Stud draft for his trainer, Must Be Sain is the second winner from Must Be Mink, a daughter of Tassie stakes-winner Di’s Angel.
Trained at Hawkesbury by Tommy Wong, Leading Impact was fourth on debut in a strong metro maiden race earlier this month won by Grand Prairie and was sent off favourite at Muswellbrook in the 1000m maiden with Winona Costin to ride.
He made light of the heavy ground to win by a length at his second start.
A $50,000 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale purchase from Widden Stud for Headline Bloodstock, Leading Impact is the first winner from Avno Doubt, a Not a Single Doubt mare that traces back to blue hen La Bamba, the dam of Group I winners Wandjina and Inspiration.
Zousain has sired 13 2YO winners this season in Australia which puts him very good company as you can see in the table below.
With his sire Zoustar about to be crowned Champion Australian Sire for this season, Zousain stands at Widden this spring at a fee of $27,500.
