About
Way To The Stars is an 8yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Matthew Smith at Warwick Farm. He is by the stallion Reward for Effort out of the mare Writteninthestars. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $724,320, he is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 7th Nov 2024 at Flemington, ridden by Nash Rawiller, he captured his most important win in the $175,000 3yo+ Open Set Weight With Penalties, defeating Spacewalk. He has consistently proved profitable for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 49% return on investment.
