Black Star Boy

Ed Walker's yard at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire is firing on all cylinders this season with 76 winners already, and Black Star Boy fits the pattern of a useful inmate in a strong operation. His first win came at Newbury on 19 September 2025, and the fact that he has won again since then, most recently this week, suggests he has the temperament and ability to peak when it matters. The recent form reads 1-7-12-15-6-1 — a win, then a dip, but a strong finish with a second place, a sixth, and another win at the death. That kind of bounce-back win after a poor run shows a horse that does not give up, and a trainer confident enough to run him when the chance comes.

What stands out is consistency. A horse that wins one in every three races across a mixed sequence is not a fluke — it is a genuine player. At three years old, Black Star Boy is still developing, and with a sharp trainer behind him and recent form to suggest he is improving, there is every reason to think this winning streak might continue.
