Lean Mean Machine Returns to Queensland

Aquis Farm has announced that outstanding 2YO Lean Mean Machine (Zoustar-She's Meaner, by Falvelon) will be taking up residence in Queensland to bolster their stallion roster to 16. He will stand alongside Pierata (Pierro) and Invader (Snitzel) in what will be Queensland's largest stallion station. Lean Mean Machine is the only dual Group 2-winning son of Champion Stallion Zoustar (Northern Meteor) at stud and is the best son of Zoustar in Queensland. Lean Mean Machine was a multiple stakes performed 2YO, winning the Gr2 BRC Sires Produce in the winter of 2018, a race his own sire won in 2013. Lean Mean Machine further cemented his future as a stallion with a victory in the G.2 Run to The Rose (1200m) at and then a smashing third in a classic renewal of the Gr1 VRC Coolmore Classic (1200m) behind Champion Filly Sunlight and Zousain (with all three being by Zoustar). Having covered "healthy books" in his first two seasons at stud, Aquis' director of sales, Jonathan Davies, said, "It's fitting that Lean Mean Machine comes home to Queensland. He was bred in Queensland, by Glenlogan Park, he raced in Queensland winning a Group 2 and will now stand his third season at stud, in Queensland." Lean Mean Machine's 2021 fee will be $13,200.
