King David

King David has won just once in 28 career races, and that victory came nearly two years ago at Kempton Park in September 2024. The five-year-old horse is a classic example of a battler that keeps showing up without much to show for it — a single win and ten places from 28 outings adds up to a 4% win rate, which means the horse finishes in the frame roughly once every three times it races. In a typical year, that is honest work for a horse at lower levels, but King David has been treading water since his only success. Over the last six races, the results tell a familiar story: a pair of second-place finishes and a third, but nothing better, and a couple of runs outside the placings too. Trainer Gay Kelleway, based at Exning in Suffolk, has kept the horse active — King David raced just a day ago — suggesting the yard believes there may be another win somewhere in the tank.Based on TrackLab's analysis
