There are trainers who spend years grinding through the lower levels before they find their feet, and then there are people like Connor King. Just over a year into his training career — he only took out his licence in May 2024 — King is already winning at a rate that experienced handlers would envy. In the last twelve months he has sent out 14 runners and found the winner's enclosure with 4 of them, meaning he wins roughly 1 in every 4 races. For context, most trainers would be happy with that kind of return after a decade, let alone one.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The horse at the centre of everything is Oscars Brother. Of King's 14 runners this season, Oscars Brother accounts for 12 of those appearances, and the pair have won 4 of those races together. That is an extraordinary level of dominance from a single horse in a small yard, and it tells you that King has found exactly the right races to run him in — placing a horse well is one of the real arts of the job, and doing it consistently is harder than it looks.
The other key relationship is with jockey Daniel King. Whether or not there is a family connection, the professional one is clearly working. Together they have produced 4 wins from 11 rides — a win rate of 36%, or just over 1 in every 3 races — which is a remarkable number at any level of the sport. When these two combine, something usually happens.
Twelve months in, with a compact but effective operation and a standout horse in Oscars Brother, Connor King already looks like one of the more interesting small trainers to follow. The numbers are small but the percentages are loud.
