First Season Sire Gallery - Star Turn

Breednet - Tuesday December 31

Time to take a look at the yearlings by Vinery Stud’s Star Turn at Magic Millions 2020, and being by an undoubtedly precocious galloper they should be ideal Magic Millions candidates.

Star Turn was a spring two-year-old winner and as a three-year-old claimed the scalp of Capitalist in the Gr3 San Dommenico Stakes before beating the older sprinters at weight for age in the Gr2 Schillaci Stakes.

Star Turn

His placings include thirds in the Gr.1 Lightning Stakes, Gr.1 William Reid Stakes and  Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap, all against older horses and also third in the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes.

He has 16 yearlings set to be sold at the Gold Coast.

As seasonal breeders, the naturally lengthening days of spring suppress melatonin and in turn stimulate reproductive hormones that maximise fertility for both mares and stallions.
