IN TRAINING NOW WITH GAI WATERHOUSE & ADRIAN BOTT – WORKING UP TOWARDS A TRIAL.
He’s going beautifully while in work with Gai and Adrian. The little quirks he had are a thing of the past and he is really starting to understand his craft. He’s a very nice style of horse and the stable will continue to step up his work.
Watch him in action below in his recent track work.
Our final purchase on Day 1 at this year’s Inglis Classic Sale, was this outstanding Zousain Colt we bought in conjunction with Gai and Adrian, who obviously train him.
He is a fine specimen as you’d expect for the $160k price tag and is out of a Group performed sprint mare who won 5 races, one of those as a 2yo. This colt’s half-brother Wiggum (Rich Enuff) has been progressing well with a couple of placings up the Flemington Straight having won there prior and just recently scored a tough win at Morphettville. His full brother Dashing Basics has 2 wins and 2 placings from 5 starts and was just sold to Hong Kong interests to race there.
Zousain has done a fantastic job in his short time at stud. Now in his 3rd Season, he leads the Premiership table on winners. He’s produced 3 individual Stakes winners to date. Most recently, Bellazaine (also trained by Gai and Adrian) who took out the Listed Lonhro Plate.

Trainer
Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott have been in partnership since 2016. They have been a dominating force in the Australian thoroughbred industry ever since.
The story of Tulloch Lodge began in 1941 when TJ Smith, Gai’s father, received his training licence. During the next fifty years, Tulloch Lodge produced some of the best horses ever to run in Australia, including the legendary Kingston Town and Tulloch.
TJ became the most successful trainer of Group 1 winners in Australia, training a record 282 winners at the highest level, and receiving 33 consecutive trainers’ premierships. In 1992, TJ handed the reins to his daughter Gai, who has become a racing sensation in her own right and has steered Tulloch Lodge to new heights in the 21st century. Following in her father’s footsteps, Gai has trained 160 Group 1 winners, including eight Golden Slippers. To date, Gai & Adrian have collectively trained 26 Group 1 winners.
