Three-year-old Zoustar gelding entered for December Online Sale

One-time winner Belieber (Zoustar) is the headline act of the Inglis Digital December Online Sale, which closes on December 16. 

Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, the son of Zoustar (Northern Meteor) finished fourth on debut in the Breeders' Plate (Gr 3, 1000m) and broke his maiden at Wyong on November 18, while he was last seen running second Taylor Construction Handicap (1100m) on December 4. 

Catalogued as Lot 1, the gelding is out of five time-winning Exceed And Excel (Danehill) mare Sense And Reason and she is herself a daughter of three-time winner Donna Intelligente (Dehere). 

Donna Intelligente herself is a half-sister to Group 3 scorer Burning Sands (Marju) as well as Listed winner Jeram New Village (Faltaat). 

Further back this is the same family as dual Group 2 scorer Skoozi (Prince Of Praise) and Listed winner Kiri (Prized) - the dam of fellow stakes winner Main Stage (Reliable Man). 

Belieber, who is qualified for Hong Kong under a PP Permit, has been fully vetted in accordance with HKJC guidelines with information accessible through the Inglis repository.

"He is a natural speed horse and being a gelding makes him an attractive racing prospect” said Waterhouse. 

Belieber is one of 265 entries for the Inglis Digital December Online Sale, which also includes a draft of 21 unreserved yearlings from Kooringal Stud with progeny by Epaulette (Commands), Duporth (Red Ransom), Magic Albert (Zeditave), The Brothers War (War Front), Impending (Lonhro) and Super One (I Am Invincible).

The final countdown of bidding in the December Online Auction will commence at 3pm (AEDT) on December 16.
