It was great to see Watch The King get off the mark at Wolverhampton last night, making the perfect start to his career with us on his first appearance for the yard.
A recent purchase from the Arqana Sale, he lined up in the Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Novice Stakes over 1m1½f, with Edward Greatrex in the saddle.
He travelled handily throughout and was pushed along two furlongs from home before being ridden to lead inside the final furlong. He responded well, running on strongly to hold off the favourite by a length.
It was a particularly pleasing result, giving us our first win with Watch The King at the first time of asking and a great reward for his owners, Dove Valley Holdings Ltd.
Congratulations to everyone involved. We look forward to seeing how he progresses from here.
