KZN-Bred Talktothestars Highest Rated In Country At 121
Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint winner Talktothestars will be looking to add another Gr1 accolade to his impressive race record, lining up for the Gr1 Mercury Sprint tomorrow at Greyville.
Currently the highest rated racehorse in South Africa, Talktothestars carries an impressive MR 121 – Futura lies second with 117 and Trip Tease 112. Unwanted at the National 2YO Sale, Talktothestars starts from a 15 draw carrying 60kgs under jockey Gavin Lerena, for owner trainer Coenie De Beer.
The Gr1 Computaform Sprint saw Talktothestars start from a 13th draw under jockey Anthony Delpech, to finish just a length off Carry On Alice prior to his outstanding win in the Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint at Scottsville over 1200m.
It will be Talktothestars first start at Greyville, in a glittering racing career that has seen the strapping bay unshod gelding travel successfully across the country to place in several feature races and to win the Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes.
The son of Overlord, a splitting image of his sire is out of Tellittothestars by Spaceship. Her outstanding Mogok colt named Tellitothegods sold at the Nationals in April for R280 000 to Garth Puller, while the mare has a super Eightfold Path weanling colt coming through.
A full sister to Talktothestars, Lady Starlet, has won twice to date for the same owner/trainer, Coenie De Beer.
Talktothestars has earned over R1,5million in stakes.
