About
Kip Star, a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by Gratz Vella in Canberra. He is by Tiger Of Malay out of Toomai and has secured one win so far. On 7 Aug 2026 at Canberra Acton he claimed his biggest triumph, earning the $22,000 Maiden Plate. He has proven a profitable runner for bettors; anyone who backed him throughout his career would have enjoyed a 15% return on investment.
