Making his way to Riverstone Stallions this spring is Starlust (GB) the highest rated son of Zoustar to retire to stud
Riverstone Stallions proudly unveils the first stallion to stand at its boutique Hunter Valley-based farm
a world-class sprinter and the highest rated son of Champion sire Zoustar to EVER retire to stud
as measured by Racing & Sports’ elite global ratings model
In an era where elite speed is the global currency of racing
Starlust arrives at stud with a profile unmatched by any son of Zoustar before him
A precocious 2YO with Group-winning juvenile credentials
and a blisteringly fast 3YO with Group 1-winning form on the world stage
“This is a genuine game-changer for us,” said Nick Taylor
“To have a stallion of Starlust’s calibre
one who has conquered the world’s fastest horses on the biggest stage
as our foundation stallion is beyond exciting.”
Starlust wrote his name into the record books with a scintillating victory in the Group 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint over his preferred trip of 5 furlongs
he defeated a field stacked with world-class speed
That performance now stands as the highest rated piece of form ever produced by a son of Zoustar
Starlust captured the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes over 6 furlongs and was an eye-catching third in the Group 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint
including a stunning last-to-first triumph in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint
He was also a close-up third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes
widely recognised as one of the world’s premier tests of raw speed
Starlust will stand his debut season at Riverstone Stallions

Breeders&#8217; Cup winner Starlust (Zoustar) will be an exciting addition to Australia&#8217;s stallion ranks with the Grade 1 winner set to stand his first season at Nick Taylor&#8217;s up-and-coming Riverstone Lodge for an introductory fee of $27,500 (inc GST). 
With a Royal Ascot target in the King Charles III Stakes (Gr 1, 5f) still to come in June, excitement surrounds the current highest-rated son of Zoustar (Northern Meteor). Bred by Branton Court Stud, Starlust hails from Zoustar’s second northern hemisphere-bred crop who were conceived at Tweenhills Farm &amp; Stud in Gloucestershire. 
Trained by Ralph Beckett in the UK for the Hay family, the now four-year-old Starlust racked up a win in the Sirenia Stakes (Gr 3, 6f), two further victories, and a third placing in the Breeders&#8217; Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (Gr 1, 5f) as a two-year-old, but it was as a three-year-old that his career would fully blossom. 
Following three respectable efforts over six furlongs at Meydan (twice) and Ascot, the colt was dropped to five furlongs for six of his remaining eight three-year-old starts &#8211; a move that would prove career-defining.
An easy win in a Class 2 handicap at York was backed up later in the season by a Listed success and a third placing in the Nunthorpe Stakes (Gr 1, 5f), where he finished a neck ahead of reigning King Charles III Stakes heroine Asfoora (Flying Artie).
But it was at a place famously coined by Big Crosby &#8216;where the turf meets the surf&#8217; that Starlust would make his name known on the worldwide stage when he produced rousing success in the Breeders&#8217; Cup Turf Sprint (Gr 1, 5f) at Del Mar, flying home under Rossa Ryan to score by a neck.
&#8220;I watched the Breeders&#8217; Cup Turf Sprint and saw the horse [Starlust] run on by Cogburn, who is such an elite sprinter, and did some research into the horse and we felt he&#8217;d be so easy to mate out in Australia,&#8221; Taylor told ANZ Bloodstock News of Starlust, who will be the first stallion acquisition for Riverstone Lodge. 
&#8220;He&#8217;s got the best profile of any son of Zoustar at stud and he&#8217;s quite unique being out of an Invincible Spirit mare so that gives him every opportunity out here which was another key alongside his form. 
&#8220;His form is world class, he&#8217;s the highest-rated son of Zoustar in the world and his pedigree would make sense in Australia. Obviously I Am Invincible is champion sire out here and he&#8217;s by Invincible Spirit [the same as Starlust’s dam] so we get the best of both worlds really. People know what works with I Am Invincible and they know what works with Zoustar so it is sort of the perfect storm.&#8221;
Taylor said he reached out to Dermot Farrington following Starlust&#8217;s victory at the Breeders&#8217; Cup, who purchased the horse on behalf of Mrs Fitri Hay for 55,000gns at Book 2 of the 2022 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
&#8220;Immediately after the Breeders&#8217; Cup I looked to see who purchased the horse or who was managing the horse and Dermot Farrington had bought him as a yearling for the Hays,&#8221; Taylor said. 
&#8220;I reached out to Dermot and it grew from there with multiple conversations back and forth and we managed to work out a deal to get the horse to come out to Australia after he is retired.
&#8220;As a young farm starting out the business I just wanted to get the farm to a good level as far as the broodmares and yearlings go and to also run a high-level yearling consignment draft. 
&#8220;I probably started to think about stallions and how we could transition into that next phase for around the last nine months. My plan wasn&#8217;t to sort of rush into standing any stallion, I wanted to try and wait for a high-level horse to launch as our first stallion which I feel we have.&#8221;
Retirement is not yet the plan for Starlust, who is currently still in training with Beckett in Kimpton, Hampshire, and is being targeted at a second Group 1 prize in the King Charles III Stakes &#8211; a race in which he will once again take on Henry Dwyer&#8217;s current champion Asfoora.
&#8220;He is still in training currently and will be targeted at the King&#8217;s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot before then coming over to start his covering duties where he will remain with us,&#8221; Taylor said.
&#8220;We have high expectations going to Ascot. He&#8217;s an elite horse and wouldn&#8217;t be going there if he wasn&#8217;t well &#8211; so it’s full steam ahead really.&#8221;
A New Zealander by birth, Taylor has immersed himself in the Australian racing scene ever since arriving in the country following his school days.
&#8220;I&#8217;m from New Zealand and moved to Australia pretty much when I left school to gain more experience and I haven&#8217;t really looked back,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;I got the bug and I love Australian racing and the community, everything about Australia &#8211; I just couldn&#8217;t go back. 
&#8220;A lot of my friends were travelling to America and England and Ireland but I was very sure what I wanted to try and achieve early doors, and was pretty focused on how to get there. 
&#8220;I would say that things have evolved faster than I could&#8217;ve imagined, but it&#8217;s been a lot of hard work to get here. Integrity is a big factor for me in how quickly the farm has evolved.&#8221;
Starting out with a job in nominations at Newgate Farm &#8211; where he worked alongside good friend and mentor Bruce Slade &#8211; Taylor made connections and gained enough confidence to branch out and lease his own property. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s all evolved pretty quickly really,&#8221; Taylor, who has two children Logan and Chelsea, admitted. &#8220;I had a good job at Newgate in nominations and built up a lot of great relationships and contacts being there and working with Bruce Slade, who I&#8217;m still very good friends with and he is a great mentor. 
&#8220;That gave me the confidence to reach out and start the farm and then it just snowballed from there. We started to lease the farm and then we bought the farm within 12 months and we&#8217;ve now leased another farm with a lot more acres to raise the horses right.
&#8220;I&#8217;m fairly young myself, being 31 and I&#8217;ve got two young kids and you want to be able to set something up for them.&#8221;
Taylor began his time at Riverstone producing yearling drafts at the major sales in Australia and has seen some excellent results in the last couple of years, including two big pinhook successes at this year&#8217;s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
&#8220;Starting out we didn&#8217;t have the mares so we had to build a draft and put a lot on the line to buy nice weanlings and raise them right, so we sort of backed ourselves from the very beginning,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;We put a lot into it and we got it right, got a lot of good feedback which was unreal for us and it sort of took off from there with people wanting to be involved and be clients. I&#8217;ve now got a great set of clients that are loyal and supportive too.
&#8220;Apart from the fact that we&#8217;re running a business and we&#8217;ve got margins to make, the fact these types of people are buying off us is the other great part. 
&#8220;We had our first Magic Millions sale draft this year and we had a couple of pinhooks there, a Too Darn Hot filly that we bought for $150,000 and she sold for $420,000 to Gai Waterhouse, Adrian Bott and Kurrinda Bloodstock, and then a Zoustar colt that was $350,000 into $500,000 when selling to Bjorn Baker. 
&#8220;So it is challenging yourself against the biggest studs in Australia &#8211; against their best bloodstock &#8211; when you&#8217;re coming in and putting it all on the line with pinhooks. 
&#8220;I am very lucky that Suman Hedge and James Bester have supported the farm with some of their key clients and we&#8217;re heading in the right direction without being fully where I want us to be.
&#8220;Early doors Alex Kemp was originally a client but we&#8217;ve now become business partners. He&#8217;s now taken it to the next level because he&#8217;s an accountant by trade, so he focuses more on the financial side of things and I focus on the horses and the clientele. We&#8217;re a great team and that has taken the whole thing to a new level.&#8221;
Talking of new levels, the gravitas of standing a stallion is one that is not lost upon Taylor &#8211; and he is hoping to potentially expand on this breeding avenue in the coming years.
&#8220;We&#8217;d certainly look at wanting to stand more stallions, but I think I&#8217;d want to put the breeders first,&#8221; Taylor said.
&#8220;Have stallions that are elite but that are accessible to every type of breeder, we&#8217;re not looking to follow any other stud or farm but just do things my way really.&#8221;
A final word on Starlust and Taylor revealed the farm would be supporting the colt with their own mares, as well aiming to find others that could suit the four-year-old &#8211; who is out of the Group 3-winning Invincible Spirit (Green Desert) mare Beyond Desire. 
&#8220;I will be supporting the horse heavily and also looking to buy the right type of mares for him,&#8221; Taylor added. &#8220;He will have a capped book, but we&#8217;re not set on a number just yet.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen him in the flesh and that was the biggest thing for me, I wanted him to look like an Australian type of horse and he&#8217;s just that.
&#8220;Big and powerful with plenty of gasket bone and just looks like he will suit all of the mares by the Danehill, Redoute&#8217;s Choice and Snitzel lines and he&#8217;s going to be able to cover those speed-type mares which is just hugely exciting.&#8221;

A “mile long” procession on 10 April 1904 brought the then Archbishop of Sydney
His Eminence Cardinal Moran from Windsor by horse-drawn carriage to the St John the Evangelist Church in Riverstone in celebration of the new church
This was among the amazing historical facts Bishop of the Diocese of Parramatta
Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv shared with the 600 people who’d gathered at the Riverstone St John the Evangelist Catholic Church on Sunday 17 November for the 120th Anniversary Mass of the laying of the church foundation stone by His Eminence
St John&#8217;s Catholic Church Riverstone on the day of laying the foundation stone
<a href="https://catholicoutlook.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/1904-St-Johns-Catholic-Church-Riverstone-day-of-foundation-stone-from-Ron-Mason-please-credit-Mason-Family.tif"></a>Back in 1940
Sydney newspapers had reported that more than 50 vehicles left Windsor for St John’s that morning for the procession
“About a mile from Riverstone a great crowd of people in vehicles and on horseback were waiting to fall in and they gave ringing cheers as the Cardinal’s drag approached,” papers wrote
“Such a sight has never been witnessed in Riverstone before.”    
The Catholic Press had written that “the fact that the Cardinal was to lay the foundation stone of the new structure made Sunday a gala day as far as the Riverstone district was concerned
The neighbouring towns of Windsor and Richmond turned out to lend éclat to the occasion
for the scene of the ceremony he was accompanied by a little army of horsemen and an imposing procession of vehicles — a royal guard of honour that contained the most respected Catholics of that part of the famous Hawkesbury district.” 
“What a joy it is to come here to celebrate this very significant occasion,” Bishop Vincent said
While presiding over the special anniversary Mass
he reminded parishioners of St John’s to continue to be the church “where everybody can feel welcomed
loved and encouraged to live out the Gospel.” 
Among the gathered faithful was Sister Joanne
a Poor Clare religious sister aged 80 who taught Fifth Grade from 1966 at the nearby St John’s Primary School for 15 years
“I’ve never given up St John the Evangelist because I’m now Joanne,” she said
St John’s Primary opened on 31 January 1950
and the local sisters would travel by train each day to teach at the school until their convent opened in 1957
Sr Joanne remembers the “clip-clopping” of hooves as pupils were dropped off at school by their parents by horse and cart
St John&#8217;s Catholic Church Riverstone
“I felt sorry for the children; they used to work on the farm before they even came to school,” she said
I saw children of parents that were here when I taught,” she added
a parishioner of 50 years and long-time Church pianist
“We didn’t have as many masses [but] we were still a full church,” Mrs Sultana recalled
600 parishioners came together to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone at St John the Evangelist Church in Riverstone

The 71-year-old said she retired her piano fingers at the Parish’s 100th Anniversary Mass
she remains active in the choir and volunteers as a reader in the church
“My faith is what has got me through all my trials,” said Mrs Sultana
Member for Greenway and Minister for Communications
“It’s great to see the church community continues to grow as more residents continue to move into this growing area,” she said
13-month-old Luciano was recognised by the Bishop as the newest member of the Riverstone parish
Image: Alphonsus Fok/Diocese of Parramatta
having their 13-month-old son Luciano recognised by the Bishop as the newest member of the parish on this auspicious occasion was a most touching experience
“Today we have a new member of the community; the youngest member,” Bishop Long said as he blessed the infant
“The Christian community welcomes you with great joy Luciano.” This was met by loud applause
as was the heartfelt singing by St John’s Primary School Choir
“It’s great to see the parish growing; all the families
all the children — it’s alive again!” Mrs Sultana said
Parishioners pose with the 120-year celebration plaques
then known as ‘Riverston’ originally settled in 1803 as part of a government stock farm and is one of the oldest towns in Australia
It is also one of the few rural towns with a remaining railway level crossing complete with boom gates
“A lot of our parishioners were the cattle farmers who established the cattle industry in Australia,” said Acolyte and parishioner of 33 years
These days, the town in experiencing a building boom, which has not been since the opening of the Meatworks in the early 1880s. According to <a href="https://forecast.id.com.au/blacktown/residential-development?AgeTypeKey=3&amp;OverlayID=-1&amp;WebID=120">latest housing figures</a>
the number of homes in the area is expected to grow from 3,268 in 2021 to 5,323 in 2046
Parishioners celebrated after Mass with a cake and sausage sizzle
What’s more, the current estimated population in Riverstone is nearly 16,000 as at <a href="https://profile.id.com.au/blacktown/population-estimate?WebID=370">2023.</a> This is a stark contrast to 1901
when only 204 males were registered to vote in the entire district
St John the Evangelist Riverstone can fit approximately 300 people
but discussions are underway about expanding the size of the church to meet the demands of the burgeoning Catholic population
“We think serious planning for building a new church will happen within the next five to 10 years,” Mr Teuma said
Mrs Sultana said she’s holding onto hope that she’ll be around to see the new St John the Evangelist Church built

BILLINGS — RiverStone Health is offering free soil testing for lead at Gainan's Heights Flowers and Garden from 9 a.m
we can give them some education and some guidance as to what it might look like going forward,” said Ellie Lanz
the early intervention services coordinator at RiverStone Health
"I think it's just a really good idea if you do live near old structures or have old structures in and around your house
Anyone can bring up to five quart-sized clear bags full of dry
it's great to have a grasp and a handle on what's in your backyard
Little lead testing has been done in Yellowstone County
so the risks in the soil in the county remain unknown
That is why this is the second year RiverStone and the health department are teaming up to offer soil testing for lead
"There were a few samples that were of concern
and so that kind of threshold is above 200 parts per million," Lanz said

A company that sued a Sydney council over the forced acquisition of land needed for drainage and habitat for a protected species of frog has won compensation – but only half what it was offered in the first place
In a ruling in the Land and Environment Court on Tuesday
Justice Rachel Pepper said UPG 72 Pty Ltd was entitled to $1.24 million for the 1200-square-metre lot in Sydney’s north-west that Blacktown City Council is expropriating for drainage and habitat for the green and golden bell frog
The lot in Riverstone has been acquired for drainage and to protect the habitat of the green and golden bell frog.Credit: Google Maps
The council had offered UPG $2.49 million in September 2022 for the land in the Riverstone Precinct based on the opinion of the NSW valuer-general
arguing the land should be zoned residential
Pepper ruled that while a 500-square-metre section of the lot would have been zoned as low-rise residential housing
more than half would have been zoned E2 for environmental conservation and for drainage into the nearby First Ponds Creek
market value of the acquired land was $1.2 million
Pepper accepted the company’s argument that the public purpose for acquiring the land was limited to drainage and works to protect the frog
as this was the intention of the planning minister when the land was released
She rejected the council’s counter-argument as an attempt to “conflate” other issues
The habitat of the vulnerable green and golden bell frog is protected
which has stymied development plans in parts of Sydney such as the Brickpit at Olympic Park.Credit: Nick Moir
Pepper also agreed with UPG that the land was unlikely to have been zoned rural
as it was “abundantly clear” the Riverstone Precinct was being released for urban development
Pepper said the need to protect the frog habitat “was made tolerably clear” by the Riverstone Precinct documents before the planning minister
The land also had some potential as a breeding ground for the frog
although was considered “low-quality” because the waterway contained plague minnow
and was “significantly shaded” by the cockspur coral tree
“I agree with the council that the habitat did not have to include breeding habitat to warrant protection,” Pepper wrote
The green and golden bell frog is one of the largest species in Australia and was listed as vulnerable nationally in 2000.

The parties agreed on the costs relating to disturbance
Pepper ruled UPG was entitled to $1,235,521.20 in compensation
“Although UPG has been awarded compensation in a sum less than the amount claimed by it and less than that offered by the valuer-general
the amount is more than the compensation offered by the council during these proceedings,” Pepper wrote
Blacktown City Council has been ordered to pay UPG’s costs unless it objects within 14 days

A company that sued a Sydney council over the forced acquisition of land needed for drainage and habitat for a protected species of frog has won compensation \\u2013 but only half what it was offered in the first place
Justice Rachel Pepper said UPG 72 Pty Ltd was entitled to $1.24 million for the 1200-square-metre lot in Sydney\\u2019s north-west that Blacktown City Council is expropriating for drainage and habitat for the green and golden bell frog
while the council offered to pay \\u201Cnil\\u201D
Pepper accepted the company\\u2019s argument that the public purpose for acquiring the land was limited to drainage and works to protect the frog
She rejected the council\\u2019s counter-argument as an attempt to \\u201Cconflate\\u201D other issues
as it was \\u201Cabundantly clear\\u201D the Riverstone Precinct was being released for urban development
Pepper said the need to protect the frog habitat \\u201Cwas made tolerably clear\\u201D by the Riverstone Precinct documents before the planning minister
although was considered \\u201Clow-quality\\u201D because the waterway contained plague minnow
and was \\u201Csignificantly shaded\\u201D by the cockspur coral tree
\\u201CI agree with the council that the habitat did not have to include breeding habitat to warrant protection,\\u201D Pepper wrote
The green and golden bell frog is one of the largest species in Australia and was listed as vulnerable nationally in 2000

Challenging family violence taboos with street theatre
The tallest skyscraper in the City of London financial district has reached full occupancy just over four years after it was completed
a holding company that acquires insurance businesses
has leased the final remaining floor at 22 Bishopsgate
according to a statement from the building&#8217;s developer AXA SA
The company has signed a 15-year lease for the 25,000 square-foot (2,322.6 square meters) fifth floor
taking the 1.2 million square-foot tower to full occupancy
AXA IM Alts said in the statement on Monday
Demand for the best new buildings with plentiful amenities and top green credentials has remained robust even as increased home working has seen demand for older buildings crater
AXA developed the vast 62-story tower against the backdrop of Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic
completing it in December 2020 when most workers were still forced to do their jobs from home
AXA built the skyscraper on behalf of a joint venture between Canada&#8217;s Public Sector Pension Investment Board and Quadreal Property Group
Singapore&#8217;s Temasek Holdings Pte and its own insurance business
The massive scale of the project enabled the developer to incorporate more tenant amenities spread over four floors of the building
&#8220;Post pandemic we have seen a huge acceleration in the evolution of occupier requirements further contributing to the building&#8217;s success
with many of the future proofing &#8216;nice-to-have&#8217; features we incorporated now viewed simply as must-haves,&#8221; AXA IM Alts global co-head of real estate John O&#8217;Driscoll said
Fears about future demand for office space
soaring construction costs and the spike in interest rates have all deterred developers from starting new projects
creating a supply squeeze as tenants compete for the limited new high quality offices than can help lure staff back to the office
That&#8217;s encouraged AXA to push ahead with another major new development at 50 Fenchurch Street that is due to complete in 2028
