Starry Heights (5g x Highly Illustrious) continued his consistent winning record when completing the Boulder Cup – Kalgoorlie Cup Stakes double on Saturday and advancing his record to nine wins from nineteen starts.

The ultra-consistent galloper became Star Turn’s 6^th Stakes performer since August 1, 2024, when winning the Listed Boulder Cup on the September 22, before his second Stakes success in the Listed Kalgoorlie Cup on Saturday for trainers Grant and Alana Williams.

“He could potentially be a Perth Cup horse,” Alana Williams claimed in her post-race interview.

Star Turn’s Stakes winning daughter Alsephina (6m x Delta Gee) is also looking to add two consecutive Stakes wins to her record this season being double nominated for the Gr.1 Hyland Race Colours Toorak Handicap and the Gr.3 Catanach’s 150 Years Vase this Saturday at Caulfield.

The Grant and Alana Williams trained mare was a gallant runner-up in last season’s Gr.1 Railway Stakes at Ascot before making the move east for the start of the Spring racing carnival. Since the move, she has repaid her trainers’ confidence with a Gr.3 placing first up in the Let’s Elope Stakes and a triumphant win in the Gr.2 Stocks Stakes at Moonee Valley on September 27.

Star Turn, whose largest crops have just turned two and three, looks to keep his Stakes success rolling with Khadime (3f e Countess Nan) holding a nomination for her debut Stakes performance at Rosehill in the Listed Tapp-Craig for 3YO fillies over 1400m.

Star Turn stands for a fee of $27,500 inc. GST again this season, which is not payable until you get a live foal. Call Adam, Harry, McKoy or Peter on (02) 6543 8333 to discuss your mare(s).
