Ozzmosis' first foal welcomed at Alma Vale

The turn of the racing season has also seen the arrival of the first foal by Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Ozzmosis.

Newgate has confirmed that the bay colt out of Cool Change was foaled overnight on Thursday at Alma Vale Thoroughbreds in the Hunter Valley.

“He’s an absolute cracker! We couldn’t be happier,” Verna Metcalfe, General Manager at Alma Vale Thoroughbreds, said.

“He’s a strong, good-sized, bay colt. He’s everything we were hoping for. Alma Vale and our clients supported Ozzmosis heavily in 2024 and off the back of this result, we’re filled with confidence about what’s to come.”

The colt’s arrival came the same day his grandsire, Zoustar was crowned Australia’s champion sire.

Ozzmosis covered 192 mares in his first season and Bjorn Baker, the man who trained him during a racing career that included a signature win in the Coolmore Stud Stakes, was rapt to hear of the arrival of the first of his progeny.

 “I was delighted to hear the news of Ozzmosis’ first foal. He was the most naturally talented horse I’ve ever trained, and I genuinely can’t wait to start training a full barn of his progeny.

"

If they inherit even a fraction of his brilliance, we’re in for something special,” Baker said.
