King Chaos

King Chaos is a 5-year-old who finally showed what he could do with a breakthrough win at Southwell on Boxing Day 2024, then backed it up with another victory at Newcastle just over a week later in January 2026. Those two wins from 24 races tell the story of a horse who has taken time to figure things out, but when conditions suit him, he is capable of winning.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The pattern is clear when you dig into the details. King Chaos has won both his races on normal ground—he has won 2 of his 16 attempts on standard conditions, a respectable 12%, compared to just nothing on faster or softer surfaces. Distance matters too. He is much more effective over the longer trips between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, where he has won 1 from 3 races (33%), suggesting he may be a horse who appreciates time to settle into a rhythm. At the lower Class 5 level, where most of his racing happens, he has won 2 of 11 races (18%), indicating he is genuinely competitive when conditions and race type align.

Rebecca Menzies' yard at Morden in Durham has been firing this season with 36 winners, and King Chaos remains an active runner with his most recent outing just a day ago. His regular rider, Kaiya Fraser, has managed 1 win from 14 races together (7%), suggesting the partnership is still developing. After his January success, he has not found the winner's enclosure in seven months, with mixed recent form—a tenth-place finish most recently followed by a seventh, a place, a win, a fourth, and a second. He is not running away with races, but he is still competitive enough to merit watching, especially if the ground stays normal and the yard pitch him into a race over his preferred distance.
