Sire: STAR TURN

STAR TURN by STAR WITNESS. 3 wins 1 at 2 and stakes earnings of $877,300 his oldest progeny are 2yo.

Star Turn was especially a Powerhouse Sprinter and the only 3yo colt of his generation who measured up to weight-for-age Group 1 racing in the Autumn.

But he wasn’t just a phenomenal 3yo! In a stellar crop of colts, Star Turn drew first blood as a Spring 2yo in the Pierro Plate at Randwick before a 2nd to Flying Artie in the Blue Diamond Prelude in the Autumn. However, his only unplaced runs in a 12-start career were 5th and 6th in the Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper, respectively.

Star Turn as a 3yo also returned for a Spring campaign with a dominant victory over Golden Slipper winner, Capitalist in the San Domenico Stakes Group 3 and was then sent to Melbourne, where he produced another brilliant burst of acceleration to win the WFA Group 2 Schillaci Stakes against older horses (Malaguerra, Fell Swoop). He signed off with a credible third in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. Trainer John Hawkes put the result into perspective. “Give us the winner’s run and we win. Simple as that.”
