Description

STARWISP

LIGHTLY RACED 4YO GELDING

“EASY WINNER 1/1/24”

Owners selling non-metropolitan class horses

STARWISP returned to racing on 19/12/23 at Terang over 1400m where he flashed home for 3rd. At his next start 1/1/24 he dictated terms in front and won easily over 1600m again at Terang. He was very strong throughout and won in a canter. On the 19/1/24 over 1710m at Geelong he was ridden by an apprentice and unfortunately he was given a torrid ride, went far too hard in front and eased out at the end. Last start the trip to Adelaide probably took a bit out of him.

STARWISP finished his last campaign with a win a 2nd & 4th last 3 starts and has started this campaign where he left off with a win and a 3rd in 4 starts.

A good sized gelding STARWISP has been given plenty of time to develop and fill out his big frame time and is now showing nice ability as he has hit 1600m distance.

STARWISP has plenty more to give and now he is getting out to a distance he should excel at.

Progressive 4yo Zoustar gelding 16.2hh

His record stands at 13 starts, 2 x win – 1 x 2nd – 1 X 3rd – 1 x 4th Prizemoney $40435

A tough sound front running galloper STARWISP has a bright future ahead of him and should go through his grades. He has returned this prep stronger and bar his last start disaster is in great form.

This is a great opportunity to purchase a lightly raced galloper on the way up.

A son of Champion sire Zoustar STARWISP is out of the Gr3 winner Girl In Flight and like his dam STARWISP is showing a liking for 1600m+.

Genuine reason for sale.
