Lot 29 - Madame Zoomstar (AUS) 

Here is the opportunity to buy into one of the most progressive families in the Stud Book. The dam of Madame Zoomstar (Chickitty Chick) is a half sister to the multiple Gr1 winner HAPPY TRAILS and the stakeswinners DANISH TWIST, ALL TOO HUIYING and HEART OF A LION. Chickitty Chick has had two to race for two winners, including the current two time winner Carabinier (by Safeguard) and Carmalita (by Commands) who was a four time winner in South Africa. The connections of Carmalita believed she had stakes winning potential, but unfortunately was retired due to injury before this could eventuate. Madam Zoomstar carries an early cover to Rommel which will be a close relation to Carmalita. She is an attractive, correct, medium sized mare who is a pleasure to handle and an uncomplicated breeder. Rommel has everything it takes to be a successful sire. By the champion sire Commands out of an American family littered with black type, Rommel was a pre-Christmas 2yo possessing great early speed in winning his first race start before narrowly missing out on the Magi Millions 2yo race by 0.2L after being 10th on the turn. He won the Group 2 WA Guineas and the Group 3 Zeditave Stakes at Caufield. A stunning individual with great conformation, he is stamping his stock. The first crop to go through the ring sold to $130,000 and have all gone to leading trainers, so they will certainly be given every chance.
