Fourstars Allstar (April 5, 1988 – March 2005) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, best known for his win in the Irish 2000 Guineas. As a two-year-old in 1990 he showed promising form by winning the Pilgrim Stakes and the Damon Runyon Stakes as well as finishing second in the Laurel Futurity. In May of the following year he was shipped to Ireland and became the first American-trained horse to win a European Classic with his win in the Irish 2000 Guineas. Although never returned to Europe he was a consistent performer in major American Turf racing over the next four seasons, winning the Elkhorn Stakes, Saratoga Breeders' Cup Handicap, Fort Marcy Handicap, New Hampshire Sweepstakes Handicap and two editions of the Bernard Baruch Handicap.
After his retirement from racing he spent most of his stud career in Ireland where he was best-known as a sire of stayers and steeplechasers. He died in England in March 2005 after a stable yard accident.
Fourstars Allstar was a bay horse with a white blaze and a long white sock on his left foreleg bred in New York by his owner Richard Bomze. The colt was trained throughout his racing career by Leo O'Brien.
His sire Compliance was a full-brother to both Try My Best and El Gran Senor but less successful than his siblings and made little impact when racing in Europe before returning to the United States. He was purchased by Bomze from Windfields Farm to stand as a breeding stallion in New York. He first established his reputation by siring Fourstars Allstar's older brother Fourstardave. Broadway Joan, the dam of both Fourstars Allstar and Fourstardave, was an unraced daughter of the minor stakes winner Bold Arian. She was a great-granddaughter of the American broodmare Wise Ally (foaled 1937) who was the female-line ancestor of Alydeed and Amazing Maria.
