About
Tara Star is a 6yo b mare trained by Tyrone Zackey. She is by the stallion Just As Well out of Tara Dawn. To date she has recorded six wins. On 22 June 2025 at Greyville she claimed her biggest victory in the $156,764 Clifton Stud KwaZulu‑Natal Breeders 1200, making her a profitable choice for bettors. A backer who had supported her throughout would have earned a 203% return on investment.
