THE K.S.S. Syndicate are the Coral Owners of the Year for 2019.

Following another stellar year, the Kings and Queens have again shone for the Brendan Keogh-led syndicate, providing them with a third consecutive victory and a remarkable fifth win overall, having picked up the title in 2014,2015, 2017 and 2018.

The syndicate’s Liz McNair-trained, all home bred team amassed a record 915 points, easily the most collected in recent years leading them to a landslide victory with Evan Herbert (357) in second place and the Conlon Family (354) finishing third.

The talented offspring of former McNair stars Skate On and Eden the Kid, amassed a huge 555 points between them. King Sheeran, nominated in tonight’s British Bred and Standard categories was the K.S.S. top points scorer following wins in the Swindon Produce Stakes, British Bred Derby and Coral Olympic as well as reaching a Derby Semi Final, together with litter sister Queen Beyonce. King Cash, Dylan and Lennon also contested a number of Category One finals.

The popular duo of King Elvis and King Turbo continued to race in the top flight in their respective third seasons boosting the points tally with wins in the Coral Winter Derby and appearances in numerous Category One finals (King Turbo) and victory in the RPGTV Golden Crest (King Elvis).

Other leading points scorers included Queen Franklin and Queen Cher, the latter notably featuring as part of a historic kennel 1234 result in the Swindon Produce Stakes Final.

With precocious pups Queen Jessiej, King Drake and King Sam already hitting the track and picking up points in 2019, and others making their mark at the start of 2020, the K.S.S. Syndicate look to have another exciting year ahead.
