Tara Madgwick - Friday August 28

Widden Stud's exciting young sire Star Witness has started the season with all guns blazing posting his fourth winner since August 1 at Scone on Friday with an easy victory for Enjoyable.

Enjoyable as a yearling

Enjoyable as a yearling

Trained at Muswellbrook by Jan Bowen, Enjoyable resumed from a spell to race clear and win the 1000 metre maiden by a length and a half.

Passed in at Inglis Easter Session II, Enjoyable is raced by his trainer and is the fourth winner from stakes-winning Danehill Dancer (IRE) mare Magsaya.

The Champion Two and Three Year Old Colt, Star Witness leads the Australian Second Season Sires List by earnings and winners with two stakes performers already on the board this season in stakes-winner Well Sprung and Group II placed Kimberley Star.

He has an impressive eight stakes horses from his first crop of foals that are now three year-olds and looks poised for further success this season.

Standing at a fee of $22,000 this spring, Star Witness has covered over 660 mares in his first four seasons so has great numbers of quality youngsters coming through to build on his formidable early success.
