Allwood Stud Farm bred a dozen individual winners and the winners of 15 races in April!

The haul included five winners by resident sire FOLLOW THE STARS, one of the current season’s leading two-year-old and three-year-old sires.

FOLLOW THE STARS two-year-old winners bred by Allwood Stud were the ‘new’ Gloucester Park winners Shes A Bright Star (1:59.6) and Troopingofthecolour (1:59.6), while three-year-old winners were the filly Star Fromthepalace, who scored at Gloucester Park in 1:56.6 and 1:57.9, The Stars Above, who won at Bunbury in 1:57.7 and 1:59.1, and Star Of The Class (1:58.8, Bunbury).

Another ‘new’ three-year-old winner by FOLLOW THE STARS was the Pinjarra victor Fiord.

Make It Happen, a gelding bred and raced by Allwood Stud, is one of the most improved three-year-olds in WA, notching consecutive wins at Gloucester Park (1:56.4) and Pinjarra (1:55.9).
