Starman ex Simply Awesome, filly

Race entries

A STARMAN 1,2 in the Group 3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Blackbeard Fillies Sprint Stakes on Royal Ascot Trials Day at Naas. 

We have been very impressed with the start that Jack Morland has made to his training career and we’ve been looking forward to having a horse in training with him. Both parties agreed that we should wait for the right opportunity to get the relationship off to a flying start and in the Starman filly Jack feels is just the horse to do that. 

Leading Stallion Operation Tally Ho's recruit Starman has made a peerless start to this seasons freshman stallion ranks, currently heavy odds on favourite to be champion first season sire, having already sired three individual winners including LADY IMAN, an now unbeaten listed and Group 3 winning filly. Not content with just winning the race, Starman also sired the runner up. He firmly has one hand on the first season sire trophy already.
Jack was sent the filly by her breeders and she has done nothing but please him and his team since she entered training. She’s been showing up very well within his two year old string, so much so that Jack picked up the phone to strongly recommend to ourselves that we should getting involved in her, so that’s exactly what we did. 

The Plan: 
Jack is confident that she’s working to a level at home that winning races will be all but a formality. She should be ready to go within the next couple of weeks where we can look at heading into Novice and Maiden company. 
She’d be a six furlong debutant but she’s a very strong filly so has the substance and the quality to take a step up in trip as the season progresses. She has a wonderful outlook on life and is thriving on her work, she’s likely to be the type to take owners to the races every few weeks and to be competing at some of the countries best tracks, we’ve already identified York as a target for a potential debut. 

 Another fantastic bonus, she qualifies for a €10,000 'IRE' bonus, should she win a qualifying maiden or novice Stakes race in 2025. You can read more about how it works, here: https://www.itm.ie/Buying/Sales-Incentives/IRE-Incentive

Given how encouraged Jack is by what she’s showing him this was a no brainer for us to get involved, so via a private sale we’ve bought into the filly, and at the prices involved we feel it’s almost impossible to find better value than her, given her provenance from Jack Morland regarding her potential CV going forward.
