Description

Stable of Stars Racing Club (you may remember that our very first lease horse to hit the racetrack was King Colorado - Winner of the 2023 Group 1 JJ Atkins Stakes) is offering lease shares in our ready-to-race Castelvecchio filly (Castel A Via) being trained by Billy Healey in QLD.


Overview – Our Castelvecchio filly has a great 'Classics' pedigree and is a filly that will be at her best over a middle distance and further. We have had her since she was a yearling and we have given her plenty of time to grow, develop and mature. The stable and SoS believe that she is a metro winning prospect at a minimum. We think that she can potentially be a Black Type/Stakes Quality Filly over a middle distance. We took her on as an Oaks prospect and although she has taken time to mature she still has a chance to achieve that goal in QLD.


She comes to us from the world-renowned Cambridge Stud in New Zealand and they believed form Day 1 that she was the right type of filly to win metro races here in Australia.


What’s Next – She is a little behind our other 2 Cambridge Stud fillies as she had some growing pains early on. This was mainly due to her size - she is a very well-built filly and we needed to give her time to build some strong bone and 'grow into herself'. This she has now done and she has really appreciated the QLD sunshine and the big luscious paddocks on Billy's farm. She will likely head to the barrier trials sometime in February. We assume she will need a couple of trials and after her first barrier trial we shall decide if she needs another or if she can go straight to the races.


She will be even better next prep and beyond but for now the major focus is on getting her to the barrier trials and then from there potentially her first couple of starts.


The lease has 18 months left to run (we have already put 18 months of work into her) with an option to extend if required.

She is part of our New Year Ready-To-Race Sale which gives everyone the opportunity to share in the lease ownership of any one of our 5 available fillies that are either close to trialling and/or going to the races. We currently have 16 young horses under management across the 3 eastern states and the ones that have raced are either city class or working up to that level.


We have a very stringent selection procedure (we have been offered over 300 horses to lease over the past 2 years and we have accepted 16) and we only work with the best farms, breeders and trainers.


No waiting, all of the hard work has been done.


We have had these fillies since they were yearlings - so we have already put 18 months of work (and money) into them...and we invite you to join us for their racing careers.


There are no upfront or catch-up fees although these have been taken into account when setting our fixed flat monthly fees. One invoice on the 1st of each month that never increases, never changes and you will never receive any other invoices from us...just that one fixed fee per month per 1%. First invoice is for the January 2025 fees.


We have shares (we call them Parcels) available from 1% up to 10%.


We have a limited number of Parcels available as a large part of each lease has already been filled...some of our lease owners have been involved in our horses from day 1 and this sale is to fill the remainder of each lease, now that they are ready to head to the races.


Copies of recent trainers' reports and updates, photos and videos are available for Castel A Via and our other 4 available racehorses.


Full details including pricing for Castel A Via and all of our horses throughout the Eastern states are available by completing the enquiry form OR emailing me - grant@stableofstarsracing.com.au
