Turf Stars to Create Plush Toys in the Image of Famous Racehorses
Today at 12:32 PM
The launch of Turf Stars was announced on Thursday, a new venture creating plush toys in the image of famous racehorses.
The toys are designed to closely resemble the famous racehorses they are based on, complete with distinctive colours and markings. Each horse also wears a saddlecloth, made in the colours of their racing silks, which bears their unique number in their respective collection and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity detailing their pedigree, connections and achievements on the track.
The first member of the Turf Stars collection is the dual Champion Hurdle heroine Honeysuckle (GB) (Sulamani {Ire}), the brilliant mare who won 17 of her 19 starts under Rules for trainer Henry de Bromhead and owner Kenny Alexander. Fans can head to www.Turf-Stars.com to vote for their favourite horse to be the next to join the collection.
Turf Stars is a passion project of racing presenter and breeder Sally Ann Grassick, who said, “I have been working on Turf Stars for the past two years and I am so excited to finally be launching it. I am so passionate about racing and sharing these wonderful racing legends with the public.
“Hopefully this will bring new racing fans, both young and old, into our wonderful sport. We have exciting plans for the future too as we build the Turf Stars collection.”
