Tickettothestars

There is a horse that has taken the long way round to finding its feet, but Tickettothestars looks like she might finally be getting there. A three-year-old trained by Rod Millman at his yard in Kentisbeare, Devon, she has won just once from 16 races — roughly 1 in every 16 outings — which on paper looks modest. But the story behind that record is more interesting than the number suggests.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Millman bought her as a breeze-up horse, meaning she was sold at a sale specifically for young horses already in early training. Her second race, at Newbury, showed enough promise to suggest she had ability. Then things went wrong. A bad interference incident at Yarmouth — essentially she got caught up in trouble during a race, possibly bumped or blocked by other horses — left her genuinely rattled. For a period afterwards, she simply refused to pass other horses, which for a racehorse is about as useful as a sprinter who won't run past the halfway mark. Millman and his team had to go back to basics, doing patient work at home to rebuild her confidence.

That patience paid off on 26 April 2026 at Nottingham, where she won over six furlongs — a distance of about three-quarters of a mile. It was her first career win, and it came in what had clearly been a difficult season of learning. Her most recent run, just a day ago, saw her finish fourth back at Nottingham over a slightly shorter trip, and Millman's view is that five furlongs may simply be a touch too sharp for her. Six furlongs appears to be her sweet spot.

The yard itself is in good form, having sent out 42 winners already this season, so she is in capable hands. Her overall record at Class 5 level — the entry-level tier of British racing — is zero wins from four attempts, which means even her one career win came elsewhere. At 6% across her whole career, the wins have been rare. But for a horse who spent a chunk of her career too spooked to race properly, the fact that she is back, competitive, and placed in two of her last six races suggests the corner has genuinely been turned. She is one to follow with interest rather than ignore.
