Kempton King George 2027: The Boxing Day Trends

Optima Racing data desk · 2026-06-18 · based on UK & Irish results 2015–2026

Kempton's King George VI Chase (Boxing Day) meeting is the meeting everyone bets on and almost nobody researches properly. We analysed all 133 races at Kempton in the festival window across 11 years (2015–2026) — here are the trainers, jockeys and market patterns that actually repeat.

Across 11 years, the favourite won 34% of races at the meeting — and the gap between the most and least reliable years is enormous (see the year-by-year table). Blind favourite-backing is no plan here.
