Electrifying three year old Zoustar is back in full work and progressing ahead of schedule in what is likely to be his final campaign before retiring to Widden Stud in 2014.

ZoustarZoustarFollowing on from brilliant victories in the Group A ATC Golden Rose and Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes, thus becoming the first horse to complete the double, a plan was put into place for the son of Northern Meteor to take on Europe's premier sprinters at the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in June.

Widden's Antony Thompson is naturally excited about Zoustar's upcoming campaign and also explains the details of a new international partner in the horse.

Thompson said, "Zoustar's breath-taking performances in the spring caught the attention of Sheikh Fahad and he has negotiated to purchase an interest in Zoustar on behalf of Qatar Bloodstock in what is a major show of support for the Australian breeding and racing industries."

Qatar Bloodstock was founded in 2010 by Sheikh Fahad Al Thani who has already enjoyed great success in Australia through outstanding stayer Dunaden.

Arrowfield Stud has secured the controlling interest in multiple G1 winner It's A Dundeel after increasing its stake in the four-year-old to more than 50 percent.

The NZ owners of the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained stallion sold 30 per cent to Arrowfield during the Melbourne spring carnival.

The deal contained an option for Arrowfield to increase its stake in It’s A Dundeel and the stud has now exercised that option.

The stud will now control the racing program of It’s A Dundeel with the entire to race in Arrowfield colours.

Baker and Forsman will continue to train the five-time G1 winner with his autumn goal being the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick in April.

In a major coup for the Victorian breeding industry Woodside Park Stud and Widden Stud will join forces in standing Australia's best 3yo colt Zoustar.

In a deal brokered shortly after Zoustar's dominant Coolmore Stakes victory the son of Northern Meteor will stand season's 1 and 3 at Widden Stud and season's 2 and 4 at Woodside Park Stud.

Zoustar - Lisa Grimm Woodside Park Stud General Manager Murray Tillett is excited by the arrangement.

"This is a wonderful day for Woodside Park Stud and the Victorian Breeding Industry. This historic arrangement with Widden Stud gives our breeders access to the hottest young stallion prospect in Australia," said Tillett

As part of the deal Woodside Park Stud has taken equity in the talented 3yo.

"We have secured a significant stake in the horse and will be involved in his racing and breeding both at Widden Stud and off course when he stands here at Woodside Park," Tillett says Woodside Park Stud is very happy to be forming this unique joint venture with Widden Stud.

GLENLOGAN PARK'S Champion Stallion, Show A Heart, added another star performer winner to his impressive stud record on Sunday night when the Michael Freedman trained Super Ninetyseven produced a whirlwind finish to take out the second leg of the Singapore Triple Crown Series, the $500,000 Raffles Cup Sng Gr 1.

Super NinetysevenIn a huge coup for the farm, Glenlogan Park stallions have now supplied both of the winners in the first two legs of this Group One series after the Bradbury's Luck gelding, Cash Luck, was victorious in the Kranji Mile earlier in the month.

However it was Show A Heart's Super Ninetyseven that reigned supreme on Sunday and it was a victory that was very well-deserved.
