Song Of The Stars

Across nine races in total, Song Of The Stars has won twice and finished in the top three on three other occasions — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 4.5 races, or 22%, which is a perfectly respectable return for a horse this young and still finding its feet. The first win came at Lingfield Park on 30 May 2026, and then Nottingham followed less than two weeks later. Two wins in a fortnight tells you this horse has clicked into gear rather than stumbling upon one good day.

There is an interesting wrinkle when you look at the jockey stats. Jonny Peate, who has ridden Song Of The Stars in seven of its nine races, has yet to be aboard for either of those victories — zero wins from seven rides together. That is not necessarily a damning number for a jockey on a young horse still working things out, but it does make you curious about who was in the saddle when the wins came, and whether those partnerships tell a different story.

Trainer James Ferguson operates out of Newmarket, which is about as serious an address in British racing as it gets, and his yard has already sent out 22 winners this season — a healthy, productive operation by any measure. The one area where Song Of The Stars has not yet delivered is at Class 4 level, the step up in quality where the horse has run three times without winning. Both victories came at a lower level, which means the next big question is whether this horse can translate that sharp recent form into a result when the competition gets a little stiffer. On current trajectory, that is a question worth watching.
