Welcome to Star Thoroughbreds
 | | BANK ROBBER LEAVES FOR A WELL DESERVED SPELL After a very successful campiagn which took him to Carnvial racing in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth,Bank Robber has gone for a well deserved spell and will return to racing later in the autumn. Stakeswinner of the Group 3 Tramway and the Listed Show County, Bank Robber ran a brave 2nd to his stablemate Theseo in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap at Randwick. He travelled south for the Group 1 Emirates at Flemington running a respectable 4th and his 5th in the Group 1 Railway Stakes in Perth took his career earnings to close to $400,000 ($393,000). Gai believes the lightly raced 4 year old son of Dash for Cash can add a Group 1 victory to his record, hopefully during his next preparation. Bank Robber wins the Group 3 Tramway at Randwick FUSAKEO WINS AT WARWICK FARM Back to the Winner's Circle for FUSAKEO with a strong win at Warwick Farm. Ridden aggressively from the barrier by Nash Rawiller, FUSAKEO took the lead shortly after the start and was never headed. The handsome son of Fusachi Pegasus has now recorded his first metropolitan win, havingwon on debut at Hawkesbury.

IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS Our Spring Carnival "Superstar" - the magnificent THESEO added a second Group 1 win to his increasingly impressive record, when he won the prestigious Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on Derby day. In a last stride victory THESEO chased Barbaricus from the 300 metres mark to score in a heart stopping finish. What a dream come true for his owners and our family of Star supporters. He has now amassed in excess of $1.5 million in career earnings, and has departed Flemington for a well earned spell, before returning to be prepared for Autumn Carnival racing with his immediate goal the Group 1 Australian Cup at Flemington.

His $110,000 prize money took his career earnings to $1,106,000. It was a magnificent day for all his owners who were privileged to have a runner in Australia's weight for age championship. THESEO will most likely back up in the 2000 metres Group 1 McKinnon Stakes on Derby Day at Flemington.
