Zourion (NZ)

A blueblood filly with talent to match, ZOURION (NZ) was a standout from Pencarrow Stud’s Karaka 2022 Book 1 draft, purchased for $475,000 by David Ellis on behalf of Brendan and Jo Lindsay’s Cambridge Stud. By leading sire Zoustar out of the high-class mare Irion (NZ), ZOURION (NZ) made an immediate impact on the track, going unbeaten in her first two starts. After a stylish debut win at Taupo, she soared to prominence with a dominant 6.1-length victory in the Group Two Matamata Breeders’ Stakes, defeating subsequent Group One winner Pignan.

From a proven family, ZOURION (NZ) is out of Irion (NZ), a valuable member of the Pencarrow Stud broodmare band and the dam of three winners from three foals to race, including the highly talented PEARL OF ALSACE (NZ). ZOURION's (NZ) explosive early performances and elite pedigree mark her as one of the most exciting fillies to emerge from Pencarrow’s exceptional breeding program.
