He's a Rising Star

He's a Rising Star

In’kantosstar has a lot to live up to on pedigree, and he’s made a quickfire start with victories at Geelong and on the Ballarat synthetic track to follow his debut second.

Trained by Ciaron Maher, the son of Per Incanto is a younger brother of multiple Group 1 winner Jimmysstar with the pair bred by Little Avondale in partnership with Peter and Christine Algie who all remain in the ownership group of the pair.

“He’s the ultimate professional and Ciaron has always had a good opinion of him,” stable representative Fergus Gregory said. “He’s still got plenty to learn but the ability is definitely there.”

Sold at Inglis’ Australian Easter Yearling Sale for A$260,000, In’kantosstar is out of the stakes-winning Zed mare Anniesstar, also the dam of the G3 Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes winner and Group 1 performer Charms Star, who is due to foal to Per Incanto.

History, tradition, family, good values and lots of fun. Also when we inspect an LA yearling we do so with confidence in the horses’ upbringing, soundness and temperament. It’s a theory that has worked well because with Dominic we’ve bought the likes of Redeem The Dream and the stakeswinner Sir Lovesalot
