Chess Star
(AUS)About
Chess Star is a 9yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Lee Freedman. He is sired by the stallion Fighting Sun out of the dam Social Glow. With a stakes win and career earnings of $150,213, Chess Star is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On March 23, 2018, at Moonee Valley, Chess Star, ridden by Mark Zahra, secured his most notable victory in the $120,000 St Albans Stakes, defeating Wild Planet. He has been a profitable horse for bettors throughout his career. Backing Chess Star throughout his career would have yielded a 60% return on investment. Chess Star has retired from racing, with his final race on July 11, 2020, at Singapore.
