Zoustar is second on the Australian Sires Table, with 14 stakes winners this season, including Group 1 winners Zougotcha, Climbing Star, Joliestar and Ozzmosis. With 174 individual winners already, he is well-placed to break the record for the most winners by any sire in an Australian season, which stands at 209.

In the sales ring, his yearlings have proven phenomenally popular in 2024, averaging $478,420 across 84 sales, including top price of $1.9 million for a colt and $2.2 million for a filly.
