Way To The Stars (AUS) Horse
About
Way To The Stars is a 7yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Matthew Smith, who is based at Warwick Farm. He is sired by the stallion Reward for Effort out of the dam Writteninthestars. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $563,370 in career earnings, Way To The Stars is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability.
