Kingdom of Stars

The most recent victory came this week at Wolverhampton on September 21, 2026, which broke a long drought stretching back to July 2025, when Kingdom of Stars won its first race at Kempton Park. Fifteen months between wins is a tough stretch, and the form leading into this week's success was unpromising: a third place followed by a fifth and an eighth in the most recent three runs before the win. That kind of turnaround — from struggling to breaking through again — suggests the horse may have found something that works at Wolverhampton, or that trainer Kerry Lee's yard at Byton, Herefordshire, has made a meaningful adjustment.

Kingdom of Stars runs best at longer distances of two miles or more, where it has won at 14 percent (1 win from 7 races), compared to its overall rate. It also performs fractionally better at Class 4 level, though even there the win rate is just 12 percent (1 win from 8 races). Neither edge is dramatic, but in a horse that has struggled for consistency, these are threads worth following. Lee's yard has sent out 12 winners this season, suggesting a stable with momentum, and the fact that Kingdom of Stars raced just a day ago shows it remains active and ready to run again.
