About

English King is an 8yo bay or brown gelding from France trained by Michael Moroney. He is sired by the stallion Camelot out of the dam Platonic. As a stakes winner with $34,500 in career earnings, English King is considered a racehorse with above-average ability. On June 5, 2020, at Lingfield, English King, ridden by Tom Marquand, achieved his most notable victory in the $25,500 Betsafe Derby Trial Stakes, a listed race, defeating Berkshire Rocco. English King has retired from racing, with his final race on May 14, 2022, at Flemington.
