Ebony King

There's a horse quietly building a tidy record right now, and if you haven't heard of Ebony King yet, the numbers suggest you might want to pay attention. The five-year-old has won 2 of its 4 races in total — that's a 50% win rate, which in horse racing terms is extraordinary. Most good horses win roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races over a career. Winning half of everything you've ever entered puts you in very different company.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The recent form tells an interesting story. Ebony King's last four races read 2-–-1-1, meaning two wins, one second place, and one run where it didn't finish or wasn't placed. That sequence of back-to-back wins to open the account — first at Tipperary in July 2025, then at Galway in August — suggests a horse that found its feet quickly and capitalised immediately. Galway is worth noting: it's one of the most famous and competitive race meetings in Ireland, a week-long festival where the fields are large and the standard is high. Winning there matters.

The horse is trained by Andrew Slattery, based in Thurles, County Tipperary. The yard has sent out 57 winners already this season, which tells you this isn't a small operation run on hope — Slattery's team clearly knows what it's doing and produces winners at a serious rate. When a horse like Ebony King comes out of a stable that's firing on all cylinders, that context matters.

The one caveat worth flagging is that Ebony King hasn't raced in 44 days, which counts as a short break. That's not unusual — horses get freshened up between runs — but it does mean the very next race will tell us whether the form held up during the time off. Given the win at Galway was eight months ago and the horse is only now returning, the yard will be keen to prove that the talent shown last summer hasn't gone anywhere. On the evidence of four races and two wins, there's plenty of reason to think it hasn't.
