Naming a horse OLYMPIC can be a great idea, but the weight of expectation about whether he or she will be a gold medallist or in fact no medallist at all, can often be a topic of conversation. Our 3 year old gelding (by Medaglia D’Oro (USA) which translates to gold medal) who bears this […]

Last Saturday Royal Randwick hosted the inaugural running of the $1 million Bondi Stakes run over 1,600 metres for 3 year olds. Our talented colt KUBRICK made sure that his name remains in the record books as the first winner of the race. With Brenton Avdulla aboard, the son of Shooting To Win jumped cleanly […]

Sydney’s biggest day of racing in the spring has long been considered to be Epsom Day at Royal Randwick and this year it became a celebration of the phenomenal skill of Star’s trainer Chris Waller and his great team with the stable notching up 6 winners on a 9 race card, the only races they […]

The ever consistent FORTENSKY and his stablemate THE AVENGER ran the quinella in the 1,350 metres Open Handicap at Doomben on Saturday turning the tables on the last time they had met at Eagle Farm when THE AVENGER was first past the post. Each gelding is racing well and it was good to see that […]

Three year old gelding SOMERVELL raced 3 times for a third in Sydney, before recently transferring to Chris’ Gold Coast stable for a change of scene.

In a driving finish THE AVENGER and jockey Michael Cahill “got there” on the line, with travelling […]

Why the celtic green jewel, […]

Our strike rate on Saturday was 100% in the purple and white stars as all 3 runners carrying our Star silks won across three states. Thank you to Chris and his team at his Rosehill stable, in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast for the great work with our horses. A treble on a Saturday […]

INVINCIBELLA has been a wonderful racemare for her owners throughout her career to date…4 Group 2 wins and back to back Magic Millions Fillies and Mares victories…but Saturday will be a day they won’t forget as she finally added Group 1 glory to her impressive CV when winning the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara at Eagle […]

Denise Martin’s first I Am Invincible filly is now the Yarraman Park star sire’s eighth Group 1 winner. Star Thoroughbreds’ Denise Martin admits it took a bit of a leap of faith to pay what was then the third highest-ever price for an I Am Invincible filly at the 2015 Magic Millions Sale. While the […]
