The career began promisingly at Stratford-on-Avon in October 2025, where Galaxy Star picked up a first win. Fast forward to this week, and the horse was back in the winner's enclosure at Kempton Park on 30 March 2026 — just one day ago. In between, a seventh-place finish and a runner-up spot round out a recent record that reads 1-7-2-1. That solitary seventh is the only time this horse has finished out of the places in its career, and even that sits sandwiched between two victories. It barely registers as a blip.
Behind the scenes, Galaxy Star is trained by Alan King, who operates out of Wroughton in Wiltshire. King is one of the most experienced and respected names in the training ranks, and his yard has been in fine form this season — 56 winners sent out already, which is the kind of output that tells you this is a well-run operation with horses ready to perform. When a horse like Galaxy Star comes through a yard firing on all cylinders, it tends to get every opportunity to shine.
At just four years old, Galaxy Star is still at the beginning of what could be a long and productive career. Horses this age are still maturing physically and mentally, so a record of two wins from four races — winning 1 in every 2 — at this stage of development is genuinely exciting. The question now is where Alan King points the horse next, and whether that Kempton win this week marks the start of a proper winning run.
