About
Regal Zeus, a 5yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by John McArdle. His sire is Zoustar and his dam is Quiet Kitten. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,080,025, he is considered above‑average in ability. On 23 November 2025 at Kilmore, ridden by Daniel Stackhouse, he secured his biggest victory in the $200,000 Kilmore Cup, beating Verdad. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 90% ROI.
