Changeyourstars
Changeyourstars took a while to get off the mark, but when the moment came it arrived in style — a winner at Limerick on 27 December 2025, giving this six-year-old its first career victory after some patient waiting from the team at Glenbane. Trained by
James Kieran King out of Co Tipperary, the horse has now run six times in total, winning once and picking up two placed finishes along the way. That works out at roughly 1 win from every 6 races, which is a modest record on paper, but context matters: plenty of horses take longer than six runs just to figure out what racing is all about.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's worth watching in that recent form is the shape of it. The sequence reads 12th, 9th, 2nd, a win, then a break, then a 6th last time out — and that arc tells a story. The improvement from the back of the field to a placed finish to a winner happened quickly, suggesting the horse found its feet in a hurry once things clicked. The run 17 days ago, finishing sixth, is the one question mark, but it is far too early to read too much into a single run after a first win.
James Kieran King's yard has been modest in output this season with just one winner sent out, and Changeyourstars accounts for that winner — which means this horse is currently carrying the flag for the whole operation. That is a small but genuinely nice detail: right now, Changeyourstars is the yard's entire season in a single horse.
