Will Be King

Will Be King is a 10-year-old carrying a tough record: twelve races without a victory, with just one top-3 finish to show for his efforts. At this stage of his career, the horse is still racing regularly — he was out just a day ago — but has not found the winning formula in his last six runs, finishing 14th, 10th, 5th, 12th, 2nd and 6th.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

That 2nd place finish in his recent form is worth noting. It suggests Will Be King still has moments where he can be competitive, even if he is not capable of sealing the deal. John McConnell's yard at Stamullen has been in good form this season, with 36 winners sent out, so the horse is at least in a place where winning races is routine for others. Whether Will Be King can join that list remains to be seen — at ten years old and without a win to date, he is running out of time to change that particular story.
