Here's her first 17 races: http://www.drf.com/row/pps/hollywoodstory.pdf She ended up shipping three more times after that ... Beaten 22 lengths by Pleasant Home in the Distaff. Beaten 16 by Spun Sugar in the Apple Blossom. Beaten 21 by Round Pond in the Distaff. She was smoked all 5 times she left Cal. You can kind of see why the guy isn't a big fan of shipping all over when he's trying to protect a win/loss record. |

Starrer broke her's in a stakes race IIRC, while trained by David Hofmans. Might have been the Santa Paula Stakes.

I think Starrer might be the last horse to ever lose the jockey at the start while an odds on favorite in a Grade 1 race. |

She came out of OBS March with the 3f bullet and was unblinkered - and every other horse from that sale who previewed 3/8 was like dog food compared to her.
I remember watching her debut at 5.5fs and expecting her to shoot to the lead and trounce the field ... she walked out of the gate and was like 15 back and came flying to lose a close photo. I can't get over how her - and now a horse like Aikenite took the style of becoming closers. |
