Regulus Black
Regulus Black is a three-year-old still learning his trade, with one win and four places from nine races. He broke through in May at Chepstow, and that victory remains his only one four months on — a sign he is competitive but not yet consistent. His recent form has been patchy: a seventh last time out, followed by a fifth, a second, a third, a win, and another third over his last six races. There is nothing here that suggests he is heading in a clear direction, though the second-place finish shows he can run well in defeat.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best over the longer distances, between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs. Over that trip, he has won once from five races — a 20% win rate, which is double his overall figure. That narrower sweet spot is worth watching. He is trained by Julia and Shelley Birkett at Newmarket, a yard that has saddled fifteen winners already this season, so he is in capable hands. With time and races under his belt, Regulus Black may find more consistency, but for now he remains a work in progress — competitive enough to win occasionally, but too unpredictable to be a serious threat to better-class rivals.
