About

West Star is a 3yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Simon Miller, who is based at Ascot. He is sired by the stallion Playing God out of the dam Jester Derriere. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $402,320 in career earnings, West Star is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 26th Oct 2024 at Ascot, West Star was ridden by Chris Parnham and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $125000 3yo Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating September Born. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed West Star throughout his career you'd have achieved a 28% return on investment.
