About

Starcaster is a 10yo bay gelding (male) from United Kingdom trained by A & S Freedman, who is based at Cranbourne. He is sired by the stallion Dansili out of the dam Shirocco Star. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $363,270 in career earnings, Starcaster is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 12th Feb 2021 at The Valley, Starcaster was ridden by Jamie Melham and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $150000 Torney Night Cup, defeating Stars Of Carrum.
