I'm A Starman

At 13 years old, I'm A Starman is the kind of horse that just keeps turning up — and occasionally turning heads. Across 37 races, this veteran has won 5 times and finished in the places on 14 other occasions, giving a win rate of around 1 in every 7 races. That is a modest return, but longevity like this deserves respect. Most horses at this level are long retired by the time they reach 13, and I'm A Starman is still lining up and competing.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The place to see this horse at its best is Worcester. Nine visits to the track have produced 2 wins and a whole lot of familiarity, and that last win there came as recently as June 2025 — which is a remarkable result for a horse of this age. Something about Worcester suits I'm A Starman, whether that is the track's shape, the usual ground conditions, or simply the confidence that comes from knowing a place well. Two wins from nine visits might not sound extraordinary, but at this stage of a career it absolutely is.

The partnership with jockey Harry Cobden is worth noting. In 8 races together, they have won twice — that is 1 in every 4, or 25%, which is meaningfully better than I'm A Starman's overall record. When Cobden is in the saddle, something clicks. The trainer, Mark Rimell, operates out of Leafield in Oxfordshire and has had 6 winners this season, so the yard is in reasonable form.

The bulk of I'm A Starman's career has been spent at Class 4 level — solid mid-tier racing, not the glamour end of the sport, but genuinely competitive. Three wins from 24 races at that level works out to roughly 1 in 8, which is a fair reflection of a horse that competes honestly without dominating. The recent run of six races without a win, and a current form line showing a mix of mid-field finishes, suggests the horse is finding it tougher right now. But I'm A Starman raced just yesterday, which means the team clearly still believes there is something left in the tank. At 13, that is a story in itself.
