Neil King

The headline achievements back that up. King has won five top-level races in just four years of training — the kind of races that career trainers sometimes wait a decade to reach. Those victories have come at Cheltenham in October 2023, Aintree in April 2022, and Huntingdon, among others. Getting to the podium at Cheltenham and Aintree at the top level, this early, tells you the yard is not just filling race cards — it is competing where it matters most.

The most revealing partnership in the yard is with a horse called Cuban Court. Together they have won 6 of their 23 races — that is just over 1 in every 4, which in jump racing terms represents a genuine, consistent working relationship. A trainer who keeps finding the right race for the same horse, again and again, is a trainer who knows what he is doing. On top of that, King's most frequent jockey is Jack Quinlan, who has ridden 56 times for the yard and delivered 8 winners — roughly 1 in every 7 rides, a productive alliance that clearly suits both sides.

One small detail worth noting: on normal ground King wins 3 from 8 races, a remarkable 38% — nearly 2 in every 5 runners. That suggests his horses are not specialists for extreme conditions; they perform when the track is fair and the contest is straightforward. Most recently he added a winner at Kempton Park in February 2026, keeping the momentum of a season that has already produced 16 winners from 81 runners ticking along nicely.

Four years, five top-level wins, and a win rate that has more than doubled in a single season. Neil King is not a trainer to file away for later — he is one to watch right now.
