What stands out about Storming George is how reliably it performs. Across nine career races it has either won or finished in the places seven times — that is only two races where it came home with nothing to show for it. That is the kind of consistency that makes a horse easy to follow and hard to ignore.
Doncaster has become something of a home away from home. Two wins from three visits there makes it a genuine course specialist, and it was at Doncaster in January 2025 that Storming George announced itself with its first career win. Some horses take a long time to figure out where they belong. This one found a track it loves and keeps going back to deliver.
The partnership with jockey Jack Quinlan is worth noting. The two have raced together eight times and won three of them — roughly a 1-in-3 success rate, which is genuinely strong for a jockey-horse combination at this level. Quinlan clearly knows how to get the best out of this horse, and the trust appears to run both ways.
Trainer Neil King, based in Wroughton in Wiltshire, has had a productive season — 16 winners sent out so far — and Storming George is one of the yard's livelier contributors. The one area where the horse has not yet cracked it is at the very top level. Three runs in Class 1 races, the biggest events in British racing, have produced no wins yet. That is not a failure — plenty of good horses never win at that level — but it is the obvious next frontier. Given the form it is in right now, it is not hard to see why the team will keep trying.
