Mister Black (FR)
Mister Black is a gelding by Zoustar out of a Big Blue Kitten mare who has one win from 11 starts. The success came at Deauville in Aug 2026 over 1m – 1m1f on soft ground off an official rating of 75. He has seven placings from his 11 runs and finished second of 16 in the Prix Du Pays De Bray at Deauville in Oct 2026. That last run, off a career-high mark of 80, was his first for the C & Y Lerner yard.

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
