Beau Zam retired
NZPA-AAP Sydney Beau Zam, Australia’s "Horse of the Year” for 1987-88, has been officially retired, according to a report in yesterday’s “Australian” newspaper. The newspaper quotes Anthony Cummings, the son of leading trainer Bart, as saying that the four-year-old champion would not race again and that a number of shares in the Zamazaan entire had already been sold. Individual shares in Beau Zam were for sale at SAustl37,soo, giving him a stud value of more
than sAusts million, said the newspaper, which added that discussions are taking place with parties interested in standing him at stud in both Australia and New Zealand. Beau Zam as a three-year-old was Australasia’s premier galloper, winning four Group One races, including the Australian Jockey Club Derby. Last Saturday, Beau Zam was given equal topweight with imported galloper Almaarad in both the SAustl.Bs million Foster’s Melbourne Cup (3200 m and the SAustl million Foster’s Caulfield Cup (2400 m
But it was believed even before the draws that Beau Zam was unlikely to race again due to a freak accident in a trial at Kembla Grange 12 days ago.
