Toristar is trained by Chris Timmons out of a yard in Drumree, County Meath. It is a small operation by the standards of the big training centres, but the team has sent out five winners already this season, which tells you these horses are fit, well-prepared, and competitive when they show up. A debut runner from a yard running at that kind of level deserves to be taken seriously, even without a race record to point to.
Everything starts here. Whatever Toristar turns out to be — a one-race wonder or something rather better — today is where the story begins.
