About

African Star, a four-year-old gelding, was bred in Ireland and is currently trained by D M Loughnane in Kidderminster. He is the offspring of renowned stallion Galileo and dam Timbuktu.

Although African Star has only secured one victory in his career, it was a notable win. On August 12, 2023, at Lingfield, jockey L P Keniry rode him to victory in the Samson Centre Celebration Maiden Stakes, a race worth $4104.00. African Star beat out Another Run to claim the top prize.

Betting on African Star has been a lucrative endeavor for those who have supported him throughout his racing career, resulting in a remarkable 700 percent return on investment.
