About

Zou Sensation is a 6yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Leon & Troy Corstens & Will Larkin, who is based at Flemington. He is sired by the stallion Zoustar out of the dam Dame Claire. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $1,044,775 in career earnings, Zou Sensation is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 11th Oct 2025 at Caulfield, Zou Sensation was ridden by Ben Allen and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $200000.00 Open Handicap, defeating King Zephyr. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Zou Sensation throughout his career you'd have achieved a 50% return on investment.
