Description

Dio is a stakes placed 3 year old colt by champion sire Zoustar out of multiple group 3 winner Solar Charged.

Dio is a full brother to champion 3yo filly and 3 x group 1 winner Sunlight, multiple stakes winner and track record breaker Sisstar, and half-brother to stakes placed Sheikha.

He is superbly bred and showed good potential as a 2year old.

He is lightly raced with only 4 career starts to date. He was narrowly beaten in the Listed St Albans Stakes by the highly regarded Scorched Earth.

His last start was at Moonee Valley on Friday 1st October running a credible fourth after racing handy on the speed.

Dio is a pleasure to have around the stables and has been given plenty of time to mature.

This colt is well educated, he has a good temperament on the training tracks, he is easy to float, shoe and swim.

Note - he has been seen to windsuck.

Please see attached vet report.

Dio is to be sold unreserved to dissolve a partnership
