Waverley Star (foaled 1982) was a New Zealand Thoroughbred racehorse who is best remembered for finishing second to Bonecrusher in the 1986 Cox Plate – widely referred to as the ‘race of the century’. Waverley Star who was known as Our Waverley Star in Australia to distinguish him from a 1976 foaling of the same name won his maiden as a three-year-old on 30 November 1985 at Pukekohe. Prior to his first visit to Australia for the Cox Plate he won 10 of his 13 starts in New Zealand.
