Race To The Stars

The horse's recent form tells a story of genuine momentum. In its last four races, Race To The Stars has won twice—most recently this week at Newmarket on 20 August, just one day ago. Before that came a second-place finish, then a fourth, then a win before that. So there's a pattern here of winning or finishing close to the top. The Newmarket victory is particularly worth noting: Newmarket is home to the sport's elite training yards and attracts the best horses, so winning there means something.

Race To The Stars is trained by Charlie Appleby, who runs one of the country's strongest operations at Newmarket. His yard has sent out 121 winners this season alone, which gives you a sense of the quality of horses passing through those gates. The horse's first career win came at Southwell in September 2025, and from there it has built a record that includes winning at one of Britain's most prestigious racecourses. For a 4-year-old still relatively early in its racing life, this is a horse that looks to have a genuine engine and the backing of a trainer who knows how to win races.
