Starmade

The numbers are genuinely eye-catching. Two wins from five races is a 40% win rate — that means roughly 2 in every 5 times this horse steps onto a track, it wins outright. For context, most horses in training are doing well to win 1 in every 6 or 7. The recent form reads 1-3-1-2-3, which tells the story of a horse that is consistently in the mix without being flashy about it.

Newcastle seems to suit Starmade particularly well. That is where the first win came, back in October 2025, and it is where the most recent win landed too — just this week, on 1st May 2026. Winning at the same track twice in a career is not unusual, but doing it with only five races under your belt and while still just three years old suggests a horse that genuinely takes to that track rather than stumbling upon it by accident.

At Class 5 level — the entry-level tier of British racing — Starmade has won 1 from 3, which works out at 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3 attempts. That is a solid return, though it also points to where the real question lies: can this horse step up and make the same impression in tougher company? For now, the evidence is all positive. Five races in, no finishes outside the top three, and a win landed just 24 hours ago. Starmade is very much a horse to keep watching.
