Darby Celebrate Win for Star Filly

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday February 21

Star Sensation as a yearlingBeaten a short head on debut at Kembla last month, Star Sensation was quick to atone for that narrow loss, surging home to win the 1000 metre juvenile maiden by a length.

She holds an entry for the Group II ATC Percy Sykes Stakes at The Championships in April.

A $20,000 Inglis Scone Yearling purchase for Darby Bloodstock from the Widden Stud draft, Star Sensation is the first winner for Stimulass, an unraced Dash for Cash daughter of stakes-winner Giftenary.

Star Sensation continues the winning roll for Star Witness, who has had 16 winners this month including one each in Hong Kong and Singapore as well as stakes-winners Fuhryk and Global Glamour.
