Zoustyle (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}) earned 'TDN Rising Star' status with a five-length maiden score at Doomben on June 27, and the dark bay followed up on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday with another facile front-running score, stopping the clock in :58.66 for the five furlongs over soft going. Trainer Tony Gollan told Racing Queensland that the 2-year-old will sit out the spring before aiming at a Sydney autumn campaign.
“He ran a good time again, which is good and he was very impressive once again,” Gollan said. “The spring has probably come a bit too early for him this time so I'll put him away for a decent spell. This is his first preparation so I'll let him enjoy it and he can come back matured and a lot stronger. He's a good horse in the making and deserves to be looked after.”
“He'll come back after a break and have one or two runs and possibly in a stakes before we look at the Sydney autumn with him.”
Zoustyle is one of a handful of standouts for the dominant leading first-season sire by prizemoney, Zoustar, who stands at Widden Stud and will shuttle for the first time to Tweenhills Stud in Britain next year.
