The most recent win came at Brighton on 29 September 2025, about six months ago, and recent form suggests the horse has been finding things a little harder since. The last six runs read 4-1-2-9-9-2, which means a win and a couple of placed efforts sandwiched around some disappointing finishes. That pattern — flashes of quality followed by quiet days — has defined much of this career.
What is slightly puzzling is the Class 5 record. These are the entry-level races in Britain, and Starsong has run in 24 of them without winning once. Six wins from a career of 54 races, and none of them came at the easiest level on offer — that is a strange quirk, and it suggests the horse may actually perform better when given a slightly different challenge rather than being dropped into the most competitive races at the bottom of the ladder.
Michael Appleby's yard in Oakham has been in strong form, sending out 74 winners already this season, so Starsong is trained by someone who clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win. Frederick Larson takes the ride more often than anyone else, with 10 races together producing 1 win between them. Starsong raced just 15 days ago and is still active, so another run is likely coming soon. If that run happens to be at Brighton, it is worth paying attention.
