Alla Stella
Alla Stella broke through with a win at Kempton Park on 16 July 2024, but has not tasted success since — a drought now stretching 27 months and 6 straight races without a victory. The 4-year-old has been a consistent money-earner for Sir Mark Prescott's Newmarket yard, finishing in the places in 6 of its 10 career races, which suggests a horse that regularly gets close but has struggled to find that winning formula a second time. Over its preferred distance of 1 mile 1 furlong to 1 mile 2 furlongs, Alla Stella has shown genuine class, winning one of three attempts at that trip — a 33% win rate at the distance that marks it out as a horse suited to something specific in its preferred running conditions.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Raced actively by one of Britain's most respected trainers, Alla Stella remains in action — it ran just a day ago and came home in third place, which suggests the yard still believes there is another race to be won. Recent form shows it is competitive at the right level: third, then fourth, then fifth, then back-to-back thirds before that latest third-place finish. These are not the runs of a horse without ability, but rather one caught between levels, possibly searching for the right race shape or distance to unlock another victory. For a horse that wins roughly once in every ten attempts, finding that opening is the challenge ahead.
