King Of Answers

At seven years old, this horse has now won 3 races from 14 outings, placing in 7 of the rest — meaning it has finished in the money on 10 of 14 attempts overall. That's a level of consistency a lot of horses never reach. The win rate sits at roughly 1 in every 5 races (21%), which is a solid return, but the deeper story is in the places: this horse almost always gives you something to cheer about.

The standout stat is Kelso. Two wins from just 3 races at that Scottish track is extraordinary — that's a 67% win rate at a single venue. Most horses go a career without finding a course they truly own. King Of Answers has found one. The most recent of those wins came in a Class 2 race on 13 February 2026 — one of the top races in Britain — which is a genuine step up in class and suggests the horse is reaching the peak of its powers right now.

Wet and muddy ground seems to unlock something in this horse. On soft or heavy ground it has won 2 from just 4 races — a 50% win rate that is frankly remarkable. Horses who love the mud tend to be at their best when conditions are at their worst, and that's a useful weapon heading into a Scottish winter. Jockey Derek Fox has clearly worked out how to get the best from this partnership too: 2 wins from 7 rides together, winning roughly 1 in every 3 times they team up (29%), which is well above average.

The yard behind King Of Answers — Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, operating out of Milnathort in Perth & Kinross — has sent out 49 winners already this season. That's a busy, confident operation with obvious momentum. King Of Answers raced just one day ago and remains in active campaign, so whatever comes next, this is a horse that has earned your attention — especially if the ground comes up soft and the race is at Kelso.
