That September victory at Listowel was his second career win, coming nearly four months after his first success at Gowran Park in May. The gap between those two wins suggests the horse needed time to develop, but he is clearly moving in the right direction now. Seven placings from twelve races means he is consistently competitive when he steps up, even on days when he does not quite get his head in front. For a horse at this stage, that consistency is the real story.
Denis Gerard Hogan's yard in County Tipperary, which has already sent out 54 winners this season, does not usually waste time on horses without talent, and Majestic King's record bears that out. His most regular jockey, J M Sheridan, has won once from five rides aboard him — a 20% win rate with this horse, which is better than his recent overall form suggests. That partnership, when it clicks, clearly brings out the best in him. With the horse active and clearly ready to race again, Majestic King looks like one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
