Description

STAROSHKA is a lightly raced 4YO gelding sired by STAR WITNESS o/o I AM INVINCIBLE mare, MATRYOSHKA. MATRYOSHKA is also the dam of the extremely progressive STRAIGHT CHARGE (2nd in the 2023 G3 Breeders Plate for Yulong Investments)

STAROSHKA has had only 4 starts to date and was last seen racing on the 24th of October at Kyneton where he broke his maiden defeating the field by an impressive 3 lengths eased down.

He is being sold as his owners have decided to dissolve the syndicate having purchased new acquisitions at this year’s yearling sales.

He is a sound prospect with plenty of racing upside.

Vet inspection available upon request at Snowden Racing, Flemington. Please call Colum McCullagh from Snowden Racing for further information on 0497214886.

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.

WEIGHT: 560kg

HEIGHT: 16'1hh
