2nd Dam: Purchasepaperchase, by Young Generation (Ire)

3rd Dam: Tin Goddess (Ire), by Petong (GB)

Well supported into 9-4 favoritism on her racecourse bow, Star Ruby showed a professional attitude from the break to sit in a stalking second under Alan Munro. Asked to take on the long-time leader Hidden Brief (GB) (Barathea {Ire}) at the three-furlong marker, the 105,000gns TATOCT yearling duly asserted under mainly hand riding to register a comfortable 2 1/4-length success, with eight lengths back to the third. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £5,181.
