Breeding[edit]

He is a chestnut stallion, standing 16.2 hands (66 inches, 168 cm) high, foaled at Garry and Mark Chittick's Waikato Stud in New Zealand. Starcraft is by Soviet Star (USA), from Flying Floozie (Pompeii Court (USA) - Lucky Heiress). He is half-brother to Forum Floozie (by Danasinga (AUS), a listed race winner of $478,530). Starcraft was auctioned as a yearling and sold for only NZ$80,000 to a syndicate of Australians, headed by Australian Paul Makin.

That's an indication that Blizzard fucked something up. Well, one race has to be the least played race, but if given percentages in this thread are correct, protoss shouldn't be below 28% at most. It has to be between 28-33% to be acceptable. Ideally, you should get 33% protoss, 33% zerg and 33% terran. The hardest, terran at its fullest potential, if you play normal (not gsl level) is not that hard, for a new player probably is the best race to start the game, or protoss.To start playing, Z is probably the worst race, you need to learn the eco of the game, learn how to drone, when to drone, when to make units, that requires a lot of games to.

There are 3 Races found in Starcraft. Each represents a very different play style as they have access to entirely different units and buildings.

Racing record[edit]

Starcraft progressed from a second placing in a two-year-old maiden race in Queensland[1] to winning the Group 1 Australian Derby in Sydney, Australia as a three-year-old. Other victories included the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes, also in Sydney. As a four-year-old he won the Group 1 Mudgway Stakes in New Zealand before been beaten into third place in the 2004 Cox Plate after starting one of the favourites. Despite this setback the owners continued with their plans on worldwide campaign for Starcraft.

Overseas[edit]

Starcraft was taken to Great Britain on 4 February 2005 where he was trained by ItalianLuca Cumani and was ridden by French jockey Christophe Lemaire.

In Europe, he surprised many Northern Hemisphere race fans with his dominance when he won the 1,600 metre Prix du Moulin at Longchamp, Paris. He proved this was no fluke, and that he was the dominant miler in Europe, when winning the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes which was held at Newmarket because Ascot was being refurbished at the time. This was his 11th win from 22 race starts and his fifth G1 success.[2]

The horse started in the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic event at Belmont Park in the United States in 2005. The owners had to pay a fee of $800,000 to enter him in this race, which was considered a huge gamble because it was a dirt track and the horse had always previously raced on grass. He drew the outside barrier, got away to a slow start and finished 7th in a 13 horse field.

Stud record[edit]

Starcraft retired to stud in 2006. He served his first group of mares to Northern Hemisphere time at Cheveley Park Stud at Newmarket, England. He was exported from England on 7 August 2006 and stood his first Southern Hemisphere season at Arrowfield Stud in the Hunter Region, New South Wales.[3]

He is the sire of over 250 live foals that have now won over $1,187,752, including:

  • Star Witness – (won G1 2010 Blue Diamond Stakes, G1 2010 Coolmore Stud Stakes)[4]
  • We Can Say It Now - (won G1 2010 Levin Classic, G1 2010 Captain Cook Stakes)

In 2010 66 Starcraft yearlings were sold for an average of $99,288. His advertised 2011 service fee is $44,000.[5]
