Night Star
Night Star is a 2-year-old with a mixed start to its racing career. The horse has run five times so far and finished in the money in four of those races, but has yet to break through for a win. Its last five outings show a pattern of near-misses: a third-place finish most recently, followed by a second, then two more thirds and a fifth. That second-place finish suggests the horse has come close to winning, even if it hasn't quite got there yet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The colt is trained by R Hannon at Herridge in Wiltshire, a yard in excellent form this season with 118 winners already sent out. Hannon clearly sees potential in Night Star, and the fact that the horse is still racing regularly — just one day ago — indicates the trainer is confident there is a winner to come. At two years old, Night Star is still learning the ropes, and placings at this stage of a young horse's career are often a sign that improvement is just around the corner.
