About
Regal Zeus, a 6yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by John McArdle in Mornington. He is by the stallion Zoustar out of Quiet Kitten. As a stakes winner with total earnings of $1,194,275, he is considered above‑average. On 23 Nov 2025 at Kilmore he was ridden by Daniel Stackhouse and captured the $200,000 Kilmore Cup, beating Verdad. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors; a lifelong backing would have yielded a 137% ROI.
