Wow! That was a seriously impressive debut at Ascot today as King Of Realms won on his debut at Ascot by five lengths under Adrian Heskin.
This gorgeous looking King’s Theatre gelding has always looked a good prospect, but you never know for sure until you the evidence on the racecourse/
Owned by a fantastic group, including my landlord, Pat Kelly, the legend that is Sir Alex Ferguson, Dermot Hanafin, uber agent Chubby Chandler and Lee Westwood.
Ballyalton was the last impressive bumper winner I trained, and he ended up winning at the Cheltenham Festival!
I told the press afterwards … “He was very professional and won it well. We aren´t renowned for winning bumpers, but that might be the second time we´ve won this one. He´s only four and what he´s done today is beyond what I expected him to do at this stage of his career. It looked like a truly run race and he´s finished strongly. His future is ahead of him”
