King of The Bronx
King of The Bronx is a five-year-old who has spent nearly two years without a win, and that long drought makes his last victory at Cork on 21 April 2025 feel like distant history.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His trainer, Syd Hosie at Sherborne in Dorset, has had a reasonable season with eight winners, so King of The Bronx is not without support from the yard. The horse does show a clear preference for races around the 1m1f to 1m2f distance, where he has won 1 of his 3 attempts — a solid 33 per cent win rate over that trip. That suggests Hosie knows where to place him for the best chance of success. His recent form, though, is troubling: a sixth place just yesterday, preceded by a sixth, an eleventh, a ninth, a win, and a fifth. That solitary victory came five races back, but the consistency around that run simply isn't there. King of The Bronx appears to be a horse capable of better days — his two wins prove that — but something has gone missing over the past eighteen months. He remains active at least, which offers a chance for a turnaround, though at his current rate of return, the yard will need patience before seeing another winner.
