First Foals for Stratum Star

Breednet - Wednesday August 15
Courageous and sound, dual Group One winner Stratum Star went to stud the best son of his sire Stratum and his first foals are now arriving at Widden Stud.

Widden of course stood Stratum also, who died when just 14 years-old having left 37 stakeswinners including Golden slipper winner Crystal Lily in his first crop, so it was more than fitting that his best son returned to his place of birth to fill the void.

A Group One winner of the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes and Kingston Town Classic, Stratum Star was also Group One placed in the Memsie Stakes, Australian Guineas and Toorak Handicap.

The below miss is one of his first arrivals at Widden, out of Essie's Pride.

Stratum Star was well supported in his first season and stands his second at Widden at a fee of $11,000.
