He was purchased by Coolmore and under Aidan O'Brien’s handling afterwards. After settled in Ireland, STARSPANGLEDBANNER claimed Golden Jubilee Stakes and July Cup with Johnny Murtagh in the saddle and made him became a champion sprinter in both European and Australia. He joined the Coolmore’s stallion roster after retirement but he was sent to second tier stud farm due to his low pregnancy rate. However, his next generations brought some surprise to Coolmore with victories among Royal Ascot races and STARSPANGLEDBANNER made his return. As of now, 59 runners won the black type contests including four-time G1 winner STATE OF REST. CALIFORNIA SPANGLE and BEAUTY ETERNAL are his representatives in HK. His service fee is EUR€ 60,000 in 2026. CITY GOLD BANNER was trained by Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou in Australia with 1 win and 1 second in 4 starts. He scored on his first attempt in a 1400M 3YO Super Maiden event for a purse of AUD$ 100,000 by coming from rear at Warwick Farm, then no success in following two starts until finished 2nd in a 1200M race by racing handy at Wyong before joining HK ranking. His dam RED PIXIE won 3 sprint events while her foals ran on well in sprint events. The bay gelding should be a sprinter that match with his half-sisters that prefer 1400M or under in distance and fine on soft going.
