Fourstardave (1985-2002) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Fans called him "The Sultan of Saratoga" because he'd won at least one race at Saratoga Race Course each year from 1987 to 1994. He died of a heart attack in October of 2002 at the age of 17 and is buried in Claire Court at Saratoga Race Course. This is a rare honor since only three horses are buried there.
Fourstardave retired having made 99 starts with a record of 21-18-16 and earnings of $1,636,560. At Saratoga, the fan favorite set a course record of 1:38 4/5 for a mile and a sixteenth. Upon his retirement, he was feted at neighboring Siro's Restaurant, where he was presented with an edible key to the city and had the small lane named "Fourstardave Way" in his honor.[citation needed]
