Starlight Sami (IRE)
Starlight Sami is a gelding who has one win from nine starts, the success coming at Class 5 level in a handicap at Salisbury in May 2026 over 6f to 7f on good ground. He has five places to his name from those nine runs. The son of Earthlight out of a Distorted Humor mare has shown most promise on turf where his sole win occurred, while he is zero from four on all-weather surfaces. His last run, at Lingfield in Aug 2026, saw him finish ninth of 11 off an official rating of 70.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 90
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
