King George V Stakes Betting Odds and Tips

The King George V Stakes is a handicap open to three year old’s only. It is run over a distance of just short of 1m 4F on day 3 of Royal Ascot. A relatively new addition to the Royal Ascot programme having been established in 1984. The race is normally won by a progressive unexposed three year old who makes into a pattern performer with even the St Leger a possible target later in the season. Godolphin have plundered 3 of the last 8 renewals.

Whilst Mark Johnston has had six winners since 1995 and Sir Michael Stoute has had four.

The draw is of consequence here with eight consecutive winners coming from a double figure stall up to 2018 but three of the last four have been in single figures. A low draw can be tricky but is not such an issue for a prominent racer.

13/2

6/1

As alway a highly competitive renewal with several unexposed three year olds. My shortlist comprises of top weight Bertinelli who won the London Cup last time and may still have a bit in hand of the handicapper, Davideo who makes his handicap debut here following a Newmarket maiden success and Sir Michael Stoute’s Perfuse making his handicap debut. A tough call but the pick is the Aiden O’Brien top weight Bertinelli.

King George V Stakes History & Past Winners

It’s a good race to follow the market since 66/1 winner Cosmic Sun in 2009, 8 of the 13 winners have come from the top four in the betting with favourites winning 2 of the last 9.

The top stat here is that all ten in the last decade had a top two finish on their previous outing with seven of them winning whilst they were all officially rated between a band of 88 and 95.

It’s not a race for top weights with 8 out of the last 10 carrying no more than 9st 1lb with 8 out 10 having won earlier in the season.
