His best work comes on normal, dry ground, where he has won 4 of his 30 races at that surface — around 1 in every 8. That may not sound dramatic, but in racing terms it means the team at Mark Loughnane's yard at Rock Farm in Worcestershire know exactly when to target him. Get the ground right, and King Of Speed becomes a genuine player. His five career wins have all come at Class 6 level — the bread-and-butter end of the sport — where he has won 5 from 38, again around 1 in 8. He is not built for the big occasions, but he is exactly the kind of reliable performer that keeps a small yard ticking over. Loughnane's team has sent out 25 winners this season alone, and horses like this one are part of why.
The partnership with jockey Billy Loughnane is worth noting. Across 20 races together, they have combined for 3 wins — a 15% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 7 rides. That is meaningfully better than the horse's overall average, which suggests there is a real working relationship there. When Billy is aboard and the conditions suit, King Of Speed is at his most dangerous.
His most recent win came at Wolverhampton in December 2025, and he has not won in the six races since. His last six finishes read 5th, 3rd, 5th, 11th, 4th, and a blank — competitive without quite getting there. He raced just yesterday, which means he is firmly in the middle of a campaign. The 3rd place two runs ago suggests the sharpness is still there. Whether another win is coming soon depends, as it so often does with this horse, on the ground being right and the class being fair. Both of those things are manageable. King Of Speed has been here before.
