King Of The Dance

His natural home is at the bottom end of the sport's class structure, competing mainly at Class 6 level — the entry-level tier where most horses find their feet. There, he has won 3 of his 23 races, which works out at around 1 in every 8, and that context matters. He is not a horse out of his depth; he belongs at this level and occasionally beats it. He also has a clear preference for normal ground conditions, picking up 2 of his 3 career wins when the track is riding at its best. Put him on wet or heavy ground and the results dry up entirely.

The most interesting detail in his record is that his last win came at Chepstow in July 2025 — which means he is a current, active winner rather than a horse running on reputation alone. He raced just yesterday and has finished outside the top three in each of his last six outings, so he is in a bit of a lean spell, but the Chepstow win proves the ability is still there. His very first career win came at Lingfield Park in September 2023, and with three wins now spread across his career, he is a horse who delivers at longer intervals rather than in bursts.

He is trained by Bernard Llewellyn at a small yard in Fochriw in Mid Glamorgan — a part of Wales not typically associated with racing stables — and his most regular rider is Miss Jessica Llewellyn, who has been aboard nine times without a win together. The yard has sent out 12 winners this season, which for a smaller operation is a respectable return. King Of The Dance may not be their star turn, but in a stable that clearly knows how to get horses ready to win, his next success is probably a matter of when, not if.
