The close of the Australian racing season has seen a flurry of positive results for the China Horse Club’s portfolio of stallion interests. Zoustar, Deep Field, Pride of Dubai and Russian Revolution have all been recognized for their achievements and commercial appeal in what is one of the most competitive breeding and racing markets in the world.
“It has been a fantastic year for our stallions in Australia,” said China Horse Club’s Chief Operating Officer Michael Wallace.
“It has been impossible to ignore the rise of Zoustar as a truly elite stallion. It takes an exceptional stallion to be champion 1st, 2nd and 3rd Season Sire and he has done that. In the last week we have seen the demand for his very best with his star daughter Sunlight being sold for a record AUD4.2 million.
“It has also been very rewarding to see our belief in Deep Field, Pride of Dubai and Russian Revolution franked. The future looks very bright for each of these stallions. The market believes in them and they continue to achieve.”
