About
Star Patrol, a 7yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Clinton McDonald. He is by Starspangedbanner out of the mare It’s One. With a Group Two victory and career earnings of $794,125, he is considered a high‑class racehorse. On 7 Oct 2023 at Flemington, Ben Melham rode him to his biggest triumph, winning the $300,000 Gilgai Stakes against Triple Missile. Punters have found him rewarding; a career‑long backing would have generated a 13% return on investment.
