Star Of Albion

That win did arrive, at Lingfield Park on 24 January 2026, and it's worth noting that Star Of Albion has raced three times at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, where horses find their feet — and won 1 of those 3, a rate of roughly 1 in 3. That's a meaningful number. It suggests this horse is competitive at that level, even if it hasn't been able to string together a run of results.

The recent form does give slight pause. Reading the last six races from most recent backwards — 17th, a gap in the record, then a win, two seconds, and a fourth — the 17th-place finish stands out as a sharp dip after a genuinely solid spell. A win followed by two runner-up spots is the kind of form that gets people excited about a horse; the 17th is a reminder that sport rarely travels in a straight line. Still, Star Of Albion raced just yesterday, which means the team at Pulborough clearly feel there is more to come.

Amanda Perrett's yard in West Sussex has sent out 5 winners this season, which tells you this is a stable in decent working order — not a flashy operation making headlines, but a professional outfit that knows how to place a horse and get results. For a 3-year-old still learning the game, that kind of quiet, experienced handling matters. The win at Lingfield came four months ago, and the next one may well require patience — but the pieces are there for Star Of Albion to find the winner's enclosure again before long.
