Starspangledbanner is an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who was foaled in 2006 and has been racing its first racing season in 2008. A AU$120,000 purchase at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Starspangledbanner was bred and offered for sale by Tony Santic’s Makybe Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd, the breeder electing to retain a share in the new ownership[1].
Starspangledbanner so far has won a total of five races out of nine starts in Australia and has the honour of becoming the first Group One winner for his sire Choisir.[1]
Starspangledbanner won his biggest race to date in the Caulfield Guineas in 2009.[2] In that race he beat one of the strongest three year old fields assembled in Australia in recent years, with the beaten runners including the subsequent Cox Plate quinella in So You Think and Manhattan Rain.
Starspangledbanner won the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Ascot in June 2010 and the July Cup at Newmarket in the following month.[3] [4]
