A share in Champion sire Zoustar has today become the most expensive stallion share ever sold at public auction in Australia, realising a sale-high $1.3m in the Inglis Digital June (Early) Online Sale.

Bold Bastille (Brazen Beau) – the “best filly at the Premier Sale this year’’ – scored a decisive debut all-the-way win in today’s Listed Inglis Banner at The Valley.

There have been suggestions that an Australia-wide industry tax of five per cent be placed on stallion fees. Graeme Kelly sourced industry opinion on this subject.
