Follow The Stars dam, Smyrna Duruisseau is in the news again after Emma Stewart has created history by becoming the first Australian harness racing trainer to claim 100 Group 1 wins in her own right.

The Cardigan horsewoman reached the historic milestone with victory in the $175,000 2YO Pacing Colts and Geldings Final at Menangle last Saturday night.

Stewart had three runners in the feature, but it was First Responder ( Follow The Stars full brother ) that captured the victory under the urgings of driver Mark Pitt.

This youngster First Responder carries the same blood as his older Group 1 winning brother, Follow The Stars, the 2014 Australian and New Zealand 2YO of the Year and rated one of the best youngsters ever produced in this country.

Follow The Stars won 10 of his 11 starts as a two-year-old and $455,409– a scrimmage putting him out of the race at his other appearance in the Harness Jewels at Cambridge.

He won in a career-best 1:53.8 at his second start in the Group 3 NZ Sapling Stakes in February and maintained his brilliance right to the end of a long freshman campaign, capturing the Group 1 $297,000 Breeders Crown Final at Melton at his final start, ripping home in 55.7 after being required to work overtime from an awkward barrier draw.

The charismatic colt also made a clean sweep of the Australian Pacing Gold series at Melton, winning the Group 1 $322,000 Final in runaway fashion in 1:54.1 for 1720 metres, as well as the $100,000 Cardigan Bay Stakes – his third Group 1 success — at Auckland.

Follow The Stars will be again standing at  Medowie Lodge 951 Richardson Road, Medowie NSW 2318 for the 22/23 season.
