Over the last 12 months, King has saddled 58 winners from 396 runners, which works out at roughly 1 in every 7 — a solid, consistent return across a full season. But zoom in on the last two weeks and the picture gets more interesting: 3 winners from just 12 runners, a win rate of 1 in 4. That kind of short-term spike suggests the yard is in particularly sharp form right now, with horses hitting their peak at the right moment.
The headline number from his career so far is 23 wins at the top level — Class 1 races, which represent the elite tier of British racing. These are the races that matter most, the ones that attract the best horses and carry the most prize money and prestige. King has won them at Kempton Park, Sandown Park, and Ascot, three of the sport's most recognisable venues. That breadth of success at the highest level, just four years in, is genuinely striking.
His most reliable alliance on the track is with jockey Tom Bellamy. Together they have combined for 28 wins from 154 rides — roughly 1 in every 5 and a half — which represents a strong working relationship built on repetition and trust. Bellamy clearly understands how King's horses are prepared and what they need on race day. Separately, King has a partnership with Annie Hathaway that has produced 1 win from 6 races together — still early days, but one to watch as the combination finds its rhythm.
Recent winners at Kempton Park in January 2026 and two victories at Sandown Park — in March 2025 and July 2024 — point to a trainer who performs well at tracks that demand tactical precision. Four years in, 323 winners, and 23 top-level victories: Alan King is not building toward something. He is already there.
