Black Star Boy

His career began to take shape at Newbury in September 2025, where he landed his first win, and he's clearly not stood still since. Just this week — racing only yesterday — he won again at Sandown Park, showing that whatever form he carries into a race, he's translating it into results when it matters. His recent run of figures reads 1-8-1-6, which tells an interesting story: brilliant, then anonymous, then brilliant again. That kind of inconsistency isn't unusual in young horses who are still developing, but the fact that when he fires, he fires properly, is what keeps people interested.

Behind Black Star Boy is the yard of Ed Walker, based at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire — one of the heartlands of British racing. Walker's team have sent out 75 winners already this season, which marks them out as one of the more productive operations in the country right now. A yard that busy and that successful will know exactly what they have in a horse, and the fact that Black Star Boy is still active and racing this week suggests confidence that there's more to come. With two wins already at three, and trained by a team clearly in excellent form, he looks like a horse worth following closely as the season develops.
