Zulu Melbourne Cup Hero and Stud Legacy Recap
A historical note recalls Zulu the Melbourne Cup winner of 1881. Bred by D McLen, trained by McDonell, Zulu conquered a field of 29 at Flemington under jockey J. Gough, with Sweetmeat falling but not altering the outcome. Zulu later raced in Sydney, sired notable progeny including Zulander who won the South African Derby, and left a lineage producing champions like Zertina and Zale. Wootton owned Zulu and produced multiple foals, shaping a lasting racing dynasty.
