Jalisco Star

What is most telling about this horse is what it does in the wet. On muddy or waterlogged ground, Jalisco Star is genuinely effective—it has won 3 races from 10 attempts in those conditions, a win rate of 30 percent. That is the kind of edge that matters in racing, because it means there are days when the ground plays directly into its strengths. Most of the horse's racing has come at Class 4 level, the kind of bread-and-butter fare that fills racing cards up and down the country, where it has won 3 times from 16 races. Trainer Laura Horsfall, based at Towcester in Northamptonshire, has saddled a modest yard this season with 5 winners overall, so Jalisco Star remains a useful soldier in that operation.

The horse's most recent win came at Chepstow on 13 February 2026, over eight months ago—a considerable gap. In the six races since, the picture has been mixed: a pair of second-place finishes and another placed effort, but also two defeats that suggest the winning touch may have temporarily deserted it. Ridden most often by Kevin Brogan, who has partnered it to 2 wins from 9 races, Jalisco Star remains a horse with something left to offer. It raced just a day ago, so it is actively campaigned and still in work, waiting for the right race, the right ground, and the right day to get back into the winner's circle.
