Use Andy Newton’s King George VI Chase trends to help find the horses with the best historical profile of winning the popular Boxing Day feature at Kempton Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, once the final King George VI Chase runners<\/a> are out, you can apply these stats to the entries – which will help narrow down the field and rule out some that have horse racing<\/a> history against them.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Last year’s King George VI Chase winner<\/a> Hewick, who isn’t running in 2024, was aged 8 and he became the sixth winner that age to win since 2014.<\/p>\n Plus, with the winners in-between aged 6 or 7, this has meant ALL of the last 12 winners were aged 8 or younger.<\/strong><\/p>\n This King George VI Chase age trend goes back even further too. Yes, Cue Card won as a 9 year-old in 2015 and Kauto Star was winning the Boxing Day feature for a fifth time aged 11 in 2011.<\/p>\n However, if we go back over the last 22 runnings, only four winners of the race were aged 9+ – meaning, in short, you’ll have the best chance of finding the winner looking for horses aged 8 or younger.<\/p>\n The potential older horses in the race in 2024 are Envoi Allen (10), plus the 2022 winner Bravemansgame (9) and L’Homme Presse (9).<\/p>\n We’ve also got a 5 year-old in the race this year – Juntos Ganamos, who will look to become the first winner aged 5 since 1950 (Manicou).<\/p>\n The next King George Chase trend to look for is the recent run of your fancy.<\/p>\n This is because 17 of the last 22 winners (77%) took the Kempton race having finished in the top three last time out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can also take this stat a tad further by knowing that 12 of the last 22 winners also won their most recent race.<\/p>\n Most of the King George class of 2024 will fit the ‘top 3′ last time stat, but those that DON’T are – Il Est Francais, Banbridge, L’ Homme Presse, General En Chef.<\/p>\n For a race that many ‘once-a-year’<\/em> punters have a wager on, the King George VI Chase has been kind as 50% of the last 22 favourites<\/strong> with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a> have won.<\/p>\n Plus, an even better 77% of the last 22 market leaders have also been placed. Tell us that if the jolly doesn’t win, they are often never far away.<\/p>\n The recently supplemented Spillane’s Tower<\/a> looks set to go off as the King George favourite<\/a>.<\/p>\n No trainer has won the King George VI Chase more times than Paul Nicholls.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Ditcheat handler has an incredible 13 successes in this Kempton race to his name – a record that is likely to only increase and stand for a long time.<\/p>\n Nicholls grabbed his first win in 1997 with See More Business, who won again in 1999.<\/p>\n Kauto Star mopped up five wins between 2006 and 2011, while the most recent Paul Nicholls King George winner was Bravemansgame in 2022.<\/p>\n With a lot of horse racing fans coming out the woodwork just for this race, in recent years they’ve been rewarded with familiar names coming back for more.<\/p>\n In short, past winners of the King George VI Chase have a decent record, which could be a plus for Bravemansgame and Hewick – the last two winners of the race.<\/p>\n Over the last 22 runnings of the race there have been 8 previous winners – these were Clan des Obeaux (2), Silviniaco Conti (2), Long Run (2), Kauto Star (5) and Kicking King (2).<\/p>\n Last year’s winner (2023), Hewick WON’T run, however – and will head to the Savills Hurdle at Leopardstown on the 28th December.<\/p>\n But we will see the 2022 winner Bravemansgame<\/strong>. He’s not won a race since taking this (9 runs) and will look to become the first horse to regain the race since Long Run in 2012.<\/p>\nKing George VI Chase Trends 2024: What Are The Best Kempton Stats?
