About
Blonde Star is a 5yo bay or brown mare from Australia, trained by Imogen Miller. She is by the stallion Starcraft out of the dam Blonde Mafia. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $329,695, she is considered a racehorse of above‑average class. On 8 Feb 2026 at Hobart, Erica Byrne Burke rode her to her most important victory, claiming the $250,000 Ladbrokes Hobart Cup over Ziryab. Throughout her career she has been a lucrative challenger for bettors; backing her from the start would have yielded a 151% return on investment.
