Description

A Gelding with huge upside . His recent Melbourne Saturday class runs have been full of merit and without luck . At Caulfield over raced early whilst being restrained trying to find a position after drawing wide, then held up in the straight but got home best with the fastest closing 200m at his first try at 2000m.


On the strength of these runs with some impressive sectionals David Gately on Get On commented " A real sectionals star Star Zone , head up to Sydney , will run a great race for us" (video 2) , and he did finishing strongly , finishing 4th , 0.7 lengths from winner in a strong 3yo lead up race to the Queensland Derby. (video 1)


Whilst he holds a nomination for the Queensland Derby it is unlikely he will get a start unfortunately as he's primed now to run a strong 2400m.


He has the profile of a stayer with some ZIPP , by Blue Diamond winner STAR WITNESS from a Silver Hawk daughter of Breeders Cup Can-Gr1 winner MEMORIES , she is turn a half sister to the dam of ZIPPING .


Immediate dam is the dam of five winners from Rome to UK to Australia, his 1/2 siblings have won over 2400m & 4400m.


2nd Dam won at Gr1 level over 2400m & 3rd Dam having left SCORPION , Champion 3yo stayer in GB & Ireland incl St Ledger , Gr1 , Epson Coronation Cup , Gr1 , Longchamp Grand Prix de Paris Gr1, 2nd Irish Derby , Gr1 & Irish St Ledger , Gr1.


Family has excelled under Australian conditions with ZIPPING being a close relation.


Star Zone though has shown versatility to win over 1100m and should build up in distance to maybe 3000m and beyond considering his dam's record of leaving winners over a long trip.


He is a well proportioned gelding 16.2 hh & 500 kg and perfectly sound.


His 1/2 sister Caminetto a $240,000 yearling won a race for us earlier in the year , then suffered a mishap , however she was catalyst in us purchasing her 1/2 brother , the gelding on offer . She was certainly showing also that she would have best served over a longer trip.
