City Of Kings
City Of Kings has spent the last four years chasing that one shining day. The horse's single career victory came at Ascot in September 2022, a moment that now feels like ancient history. At six years old and still racing, the gelding has started nine times without managing to recapture that early success—a pattern that tells you everything about the gap between a one-off win and genuine ability at the track.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form paints a picture of a horse in decline. In its last six outings, City Of Kings has finished ninth, eleventh, eleventh, and sixth, with two races missing from the record entirely. That ninth-place finish just a day ago suggests the horse is still being given chances by trainer Ian Williams's yard at Portway in Worcestershire, an operation that has saddled 96 winners this season. But the numbers speak plainly: one win from nine races is roughly a 1 in 9 shot, and the years since 2022 have yielded nothing but places and mid-field finishes. At this stage of a career, City Of Kings appears to be a horse whose best racing lies firmly in the past.
