Sirius A

The first win came at Leicester in June 2025, but the more recent one tells a better story. Sirius A won at Wolverhampton just five weeks ago, in April 2026, which means this is a horse that has continued to develop and improve rather than flattering early and fading away. Coming back and winning again as a three-year-old is exactly what a yard hopes to see — it suggests there's still more to come.

That yard is James Horton's operation in Newmarket, one of the most famous training centres in the world, and Horton's team have been in fine form this season with 20 winners already on the board. Sirius A's regular partner in the saddle is Jack Mitchell, who has ridden the horse in 5 of its 8 races. They've won together once from those five outings — 1 in 5, or roughly a 20% win rate — which is a solid partnership, and the fact that Horton keeps putting Mitchell back on the horse suggests there's a level of trust in how they work together.

Looking at the last six runs in order — a fifth, then a win, a second, a run where it didn't place, a third, and a fourth — what stands out is that Sirius A raced just yesterday and is clearly being kept busy. A fifth place most recently after winning five weeks ago is no disaster; horses have off days, and the profile of a horse that wins, places, and stays in training is far more interesting than one that disappears between runs. With the season ahead and a trainer in form, Sirius A looks like exactly the kind of horse worth keeping an eye on.
