About
Blonde Star is a 5yo bay or brown mare from Australia trained by Imogen Miller, operating from Seven Mile Beach. She is by the stallion Starcraft out of Blonde Mafia. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $318,445, she is regarded as a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 8 Feb 2026 at Hobart, rider Erica Byrne Burke guided her to her biggest triumph in the $250,000 Ladbrokes Hobart Cup, beating Ziryab. She has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 171% return on investment.
