Star Witness got his first century of winners in the 2017/2018 season and has kept up the good work ever since to the great delight of his supporters producing 100 winners every year, that’s a lot of very happy winning owners!

Throughout his career, Star Witness has never stood for more than $33,000 so has always been very affordable and reliable, two important qualities that you can’t say about too many stallions.

Victoria is home to six stallions that have cracked the century club this season and Widden Stud are proud to stand three of them – Nicconi (130 winners), Magnus (106 winners) and Star Witness (100 winners).
