Santorini Star

Recent form tells a story of a horse firing on most cylinders. In its last six outings, Santorini Star has claimed three wins, with three placings and only one blank — a second, a fourth, and a pair of thirds sandwiching two victories. That consistency matters: a horse that runs well in defeats is often one that will win again soon. The partnership with jockey Tom Marquand has been particularly fruitful, with the pair combining for four wins from seven rides together, a 57% win rate that suggests genuine understanding between horse and rider.

There is one nagging detail worth noting. Santorini Star last won three months ago at Newmarket on 1 May 2026, which means it has raced at least once since then without breaking its duck. After a run of wins in the late summer and autumn of 2025, the form has plateaued — still solid in defeat, still competing at the highest levels, but no new victories to celebrate. For a horse of its calibre, trained by the prolific Haggas yard in Newmarket (which has already sent out 170 winners this season alone), that gap might be beginning to feel like a drought. All the same, with a win rate of better than 1 in every 2 races and recent evidence of top-level ability, Santorini Star remains a horse worth watching every time it runs.
