A half-brother to dual Group I winner King’s Legacy, two year-old Zoustar colt After Match was the easiest of winners at Hawkesbury on Sunday sporting the colours of Yulong.
Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, After Match has taken a little longer to come hand than his famous sibling, who was also prepared by the Snowden’s to win both the Group I ATC Sires Produce Stakes and Champagne Stakes.
After Match was only fifth on debut at Randwick back in March in a race won by smart stakes-placed youngster Roselyn’s Star, but has obviously made good progress since then and was sent out in much easier race this time.
Ridden by Tommy Berry, After Match made light work of this 1100m maiden opening up to win by more than three lengths eased down.

A $410,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Segenhoe draft for Yulong, After Match is the fifth winner from five foals to race from stakes-placed Hussonet (USA) mare Breakfast in Bed, a half-sister to Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Oohood from the Singles Bar branch of the Easy Date family that produced leading sire Not a Single Doubt.
After Match is the 204th Australian winner of the season for Zoustar.
