About

Witchachar Star is a 9yo bay gelding (male) from Australia trained by Gavin Bedggood, who is based at Cranbourne (2). He is sired by the stallion Myboycharlie out of the dam Witchuponastar. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $370,325 in career earnings, Witchachar Star is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 5th May 2022 at Warrnambool, Witchachar Star was ridden by Beau Mertens and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $300000 Warrnambool Cup, defeating Nerve Not Verve. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Witchachar Star throughout his career you'd have achieved a 387% return on investment.
