The most striking number in Stellarmasterpiece's record is this: 4 wins from 15 races at Catterick Bridge. That might not sound dramatic at first, but consider that most horses never win at any track four times in their lives. Something about Catterick suits this horse — the tight turns, the undulations, the northern crowd — and the team at Middleham clearly know it, sending the horse back there time and again. Hammond's yard has been in fine form this season with 31 winners, and Stellarmasterpiece has been doing its part.
Put it on fast, dry ground and the figures improve sharply. Three wins from just 5 races on dry ground means it wins 60% of the time in those conditions — that is a genuinely extraordinary number. Six from every ten races would make you a champion jockey. For a horse, it marks out a very clear preference, and any time the forecast is dry, Stellarmasterpiece becomes considerably more interesting.
The partnership with jockey Aiden Brookes deserves a mention too. Three wins from 10 races together — winning roughly 1 in every 3 — is a meaningful connection, and that kind of familiarity between horse and rider often tells in the finish.
Current form could hardly look better. Stellarmasterpiece raced just yesterday, and its last six results read: win, win, sixth, third, fourth, fifth. That means two wins on the bounce, the most recent coming at Stratford-on-Avon on 30 June 2026 — this week. After a patchy middle stretch, this horse has found top gear at exactly the right moment. Whatever Hammond has been doing with it lately, it appears to be working.
