Galaxy Wonder

The recent form makes for exciting reading. In the last six races the results read 3-3-1-1-2-2 going backwards, which means Galaxy Wonder has been finishing first or second in four of those six outings. Two wins in the last six races, with the most recent coming at Bath on 17 April 2026 — just seven weeks ago — suggests a horse that is currently in the best form of its life. It first announced itself with a win at Ballinrobe in July 2025, but the Bath victory shows it has carried that momentum well into the following year.

Ground conditions matter here too. On normal ground Galaxy Wonder has won 2 of its 5 races — 40%, which is a remarkable number by any measure. For context, most horses win somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of their races across a career. Winning two in every five on a specific surface type is the kind of figure that makes experienced observers take notice.

Tony Carroll trains this horse from his yard in Cropthorne, Worcestershire, and the operation is clearly in fine health — 136 winners sent out this season alone. One puzzle worth flagging is the record with regular jockey Leigh Roche: five rides together and no wins yet. Given how well Galaxy Wonder has been running, that partnership is arguably overdue a breakthrough. Galaxy Wonder typically competes at the lower end of the racing ladder, winning 1 from 5 at that level, but with four wins on the board and form figures that are turning heads, a step up in class may not be far away.
