About
Way To The Stars is an 8yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Smith at Warwick Farm. He is by Reward for Effort out of Writteninthestars. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $724,320, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 7 Nov 2024 at Flemington, ridden by Nash Rawiller, he secured his most important victory, taking the $175,000 3yo+ Open Set Weight With Penalties and beating Spacewalk. He has consistently provided value to bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 45% return on investment.
