King George VI news
Sir Alex Ferguson could land a tasty Christmas bonus thanks to his co-ownership of favourite Clan Des Obeaux.
The Paul Nicholls-trained horse has not finished outside the places anywhere since Cheltenham 2020 and has won his last two races, including the Punchestown Gold Cup last April where he saw off dual Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo.
Speaking of Gold Cup, the 2021 winner could have his second run of the season after finishing third to Bryony Frost and Frodon at Down Royal in October.
Willie Mullins’ Irish raider Asterion Forlonge travelled ominously well before falling in this month’s star-studded John Durkan at Punchestown.
A repeat bid of that promising run would surely see the seven-year-old challenge.
King George VI – how much does the winner get?
The winner of the Grade 1 contest over three miles will pocket a cool £142,375 for connections.
What time is the King George on Boxing Day?
The race will take place at 3.05pm and be shown live on ITV and Racing TV.
Boxing Day racing TV schedule
