Mithen Claims $700k MM Zoustar Weanling

Meanwhile, Rosemont Stud and bloodstock agent Justin Bahen teamed up to take home the top seller from the Shadwell Stud Australasia Unreserved Dispersal Sale of weanlings on Day 1 of the 2021 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale. That partnership went to $700,000 to secure the Zoustar colt from Bulbula (Sahamardal), consigned as Lot 73. You've got to look in all the markets," Rosemont principal Anthony Mithen said. "We're probably the end user for this colt. We bought the yearling half-brother for $1.2 million, and we've been holding our breath waiting (for this colt). The Snitzel (yearling) has broken in well and impressed the team and it's a great pedigree - these Shadwell families don't become available except in these sorts of extraordinary circumstances." Mithen noted, "We've got a great client of the farm who will race the horse with us - we're searching far and wide for these good colts and hopefully they can turn into stallions for our farm in Victoria." The Shadwell Stud consignment of weanlings grossed $5.435 million for 20 lots sold at an average price of $271,750.
