Starlust, a Grade 1-winning son of Zoustar, is set to begin his stallion career at Riverstone Lodge in Australia, with an introductory fee of $27,500. Currently trained by Ralph Beckett, Starlust has had a successful racing career, highlighted by his victory in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. His pedigree, being out of an Invincible Spirit mare, positions him uniquely in the Australian market, where he is expected to attract interest from breeders.

Nick Taylor, the owner of Riverstone Lodge, expressed enthusiasm about Starlust’s potential, noting his world-class form and the advantageous pedigree that aligns with successful Australian sires like I Am Invincible. Taylor’s journey in the racing industry has been marked by rapid growth, transitioning from a role at Newgate Farm to establishing his own breeding operation. He aims to create a breeding environment that prioritizes quality and accessibility for all types of breeders.

As Starlust prepares for his upcoming race at Royal Ascot, Taylor is committed to supporting the stallion with quality mares and is open to expanding his breeding program in the future. He emphasizes the importance of selecting mares that complement Starlust’s attributes, aiming to create a successful breeding legacy while maintaining a focus on integrity and quality in his operations.
