Star ran more races than this but only his Rye House races are accounted for here as data for his Peterborough, Sittingbourne and Catford races could not be found.
Star is the biggest of his litter at 34-35kg, but is one of the most gentle dogs you will ever meet!!
The highlight of his career was winning an open race at Rye House as a 12-1 outsider, beating one of Vinnie Jones' 'Smoking' dogs.
He has now been retired since 2004. Star used to live with Noahs Colleen, but now lives with Noahs Alison and Noahs Jenny when Colleen left to have her puppies, Star's nieces and nephews.
Like his brother Sky, Star also began his career at Peterborough before moving to Sittingbourne. He then unfortunately took one of the bends far to wind and his foot slipped down the hare rail and he broke his hock quite badly. However, after a long recouperation, he won his comeback, racing another 37 races, and winning 10 of these, including an open race and securing a graded hattrick!!
During these races, his only other injury was a broken toe on his back right foot which had to be removed, exactly the same injury his brother had a few years previous!!! Like Sky, this injury did not hold him back and he continued to win races! Star raced until he was almost 6 when he injured his hock whilst winning a trial. After he recovered he helped to school Noahs Gunner and Noahs Lanesra by running in schooling trials with them.
