King Of Speed

The most recent win came at Wolverhampton on 13 December 2025 — about six months ago now — and the last six runs have produced nothing better than a third place. That said, third, fifth, third, fifth is not the form of a horse falling apart; it is the form of a horse doing its job at a consistent, modest level. King Of Speed competes almost exclusively at Class 6, the entry level of British racing, where it has won 5 from 38 at a 13% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8 races at that level. For this kind of horse, that is exactly where it belongs and where it can be competitive.

Normal ground conditions clearly suit best — 4 of the 5 career wins have come when the track is riding normally, a 13% win rate from 31 races on that surface. That is a meaningful pattern and worth knowing if you are following the horse through the summer months when those conditions are most likely.

The yard behind King Of Speed is trained by Mark Loughnane at Rock Farm in Worcestershire, a small operation that has punched out 25 winners this season — a genuinely busy tally for a yard of its size. Most of those rides have come with Billy Loughnane in the saddle, and the combination has produced 3 wins from 20 races together (15%, or roughly 1 in every 7 rides). That is actually a better win rate than King Of Speed's overall record suggests, which tells you something about how well the pair seem to understand each other. With the horse still active and racing just yesterday, there is clearly plenty of life left in the partnership yet.
