Star Of Luis, a three-year-old son of San Luis, broke through for a deserved stakes win at Rosehill
Trained by Rick Worthington and ridden by Larry Cassidy, Star Of Luis completed a double when taking the Listed $A120,000 Heritage Stakes (1200m) by a length and three-quarters.
Star Of Luis was bought for $A16,000 at the 2005 Inglis Sires' Produce Sale and has always been held in high regard by his connections.
After running second in his debut as a two-year-old last season, his next two starts were both in stakes races, the latest effort resulting in a fourth in the Gr II STC Darley Pago Pago Stakes on April 1.
Star Of Luis was given a spell after that placing and resumed on a high note when clearing maiden ranks by two and a half lengths over 1080 metres at Canberra in his leadup to last Saturday's stakes win.
Star Of Luis is from the Woodborough mare Woodland Nymph, who is a grand-daughter of the Gr I Irish 1000 Guineas winner Miralla.
de Kabat Bloodstock owned Xianthe (Woodborough) was booked to San Luis earlier in the season, and the mating will produce a foal bred on the same cross as Star of Luis.
