Lahore Da King

The distance of 7 furlongs to a mile is clearly his sweet spot. Over those trips he has won 3 of his 9 races — that is 1 in 3, which is an excellent ratio and suggests Anthony Mullins, who trains him out of Gowran in Co Kilkenny, has a very clear picture of when and where to aim him. Mullins has had 9 winners from his yard this season alone, so this is a team that knows how to get a horse to the track in good order.

What makes Lahore Da King especially interesting is his relationship with Dundalk. He has run there 7 times and won twice — including his very first career win back in December 2025. For a horse to return to the same track again and again and keep finding the line, there is usually something specific going on, whether it is the surface, the tight turns, or simply the atmosphere. Whatever it is, Dundalk seems to suit him in a way that not every track does.

His most recent win came at Bellewstown on 11 April 2026, just five weeks ago, so he arrives at this stage of the season in form rather than chasing it. Jockey Iqbal Khan has been a key part of that — the two of them have won 2 from 6 races together, a win rate of 33%, which means when Khan is in the saddle, Lahore Da King wins roughly 1 in every 3 times out. That kind of partnership tends to matter. A jockey who knows a horse's quirks, who knows when to push and when to hold, can make a real difference, and those numbers suggest the combination has found something that works.
