About

The Astrologist is an 8-year-old bay gelding from Australia trained by L & T & W Corstens & Larkin, who are based at Flemington. He is sired by Zoustar out of the dam Aquada, and is considered a racehorse of above-average ability, having won stakes races and amassed $2,853,639 in career earnings. His most notable win came on December 10, 2022, at Ascot, where he was ridden by William Pike and secured victory in The Gold Rush race. He has been a profitable horse for punters, with a 2% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
