North Star Kodi

What stands out is the consistency. Finishing third twice in a row might not sound headline-grabbing, but for a horse who has only ever raced twice, it suggests a level of reliability that some young horses take much longer to find. It hasn't won yet, but it hasn't embarrassed itself either — and with a race just yesterday, it's clearly fit and active right now.

The stable behind North Star Kodi gives plenty of reason for optimism. Richard and Peter Fahey operate out of Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, and with nine winners already on the board this season, theirs is clearly a yard in good form. That kind of momentum matters — horses trained by confident, winning yards tend to benefit from the sharpness and routine that comes with everything clicking along nicely. North Star Kodi may still be waiting for its moment, but it's in capable hands while it waits.
