Coronado King

The picture improves slightly when you look at where he runs best. Over distances between 5 furlongs and 6½ furlongs, Coronado King has won 1 of his 5 races—a 20 percent win rate—which hints that shorter trips suit him better than the full range of distances he has tackled. The problem is that he has yet to find his feet in the higher-class races: he has run four times in Class 4 company without a win. He is typically campaigned at Class 4 level, which speaks to his level in the sport. Trained by Denis Gerard Hogan at Cloughjordan in County Tipperary, the horse continues to race regularly—he was out just a day ago—so the yard has not given up on him, even if the wins have dried up. With Hogan's yard sending out 54 winners this season, there is plenty of horsepower in the stable, but Coronado King has not yet managed to contribute to that tally since that breakthrough Wolverhampton victory twelve months ago.
