What makes Supreme King genuinely interesting is his stranglehold on Salisbury. The track clearly suits him — he has won 2 of his 4 races there, most recently in August, just seven weeks ago. That kind of course record is rare and suggests the layout, the ground conditions that tend to hold there, or something about the racing pattern at the track plays to his strengths. He last won that Salisbury race on 12 August, and his recent form shows touches of life: a third place, a third place again, a fifth, a sixth, a third, and then a win. It is the form of a horse who runs regularly and picks up prizes when conditions align.
Based at David Evans's Pandy yard in Monmouths, Supreme King races regularly at Class 4 level — the lower end of the racing pyramid — where he wins roughly 1 in every 11 races. He was in action just yesterday, keeping him active at an age when many horses are being retired. Sean Levey has partnered him six times without a win, suggesting they may not be an ideal combination, but with a trainer who has sent out 37 winners this season, Supreme King clearly has the right stable behind him to find more winning opportunities when the ground softens and he returns to tracks where he has proven he can deliver.
