About

Smart Star is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by David Kok in Singapore. His sire is Star Witness and his dam is Power Ahead. After securing a Group One victory and accumulating $1,151,980 in earnings, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 5th Oct 2024 in Singapore, M Yeni rode Smart Star to his biggest triumph, winning the $1,380,000 3yo+ Open Handicap and beating Lim's Saltoro. He has consistently delivered profit to bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 304% return on investment.
