Kempton host a decent card on the all weather on Wednesday afternoon and there has been some big money come for a horse in the first race of the day for a trainer having his last ever runner in his career.

Knight Of Kings for trainer Paul D'Arcy has undergone a massive gamble in the 16:10 at Kempton being a double figure price of 20/1 at the start of the day and is now a best price of 3/1.

Paul D'Arcy has been a leading trainer in the sport for many years and is having having his final ever runner today as he now believes it is time to retire.

Yesterday D'Arcy had his penultimate runner at Southwell and it saw 12/1 shot Cheat go from the front and land a Class 6 Handicap with ease.

With his last ever runner coming today it has seen punters smash into the horse and it looks to be off the back of his winner yesterday.

Knight Of Kings is a three year old colt that has only been seen once to date finishing eighth of 12 runners at Wolverhampton, showing a lot of promise early on but just fading in the latter stages.

John Egan sat on his penultimate runner at Southwell yesterday and again takes the ride for his final runner and he looks to have a massive chance.
