A career highlight for the resilient 3-year-old Zoustar colt Starlust, who came with a barnstorming finish from last on the turn to triumph in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar.
After disappointing on debut on a heavy track at Bendigo in July, Legacy Bay made no mistake at her second start when solidly backed in Sunday’s The Coffee Pit / No 1 Car Wash Maiden Plate (1100m) at Sale.
