R3 GB - KEMPTON PARK | 26 December 2004 |
King George VI Chase (Grade 1) G1 CHSE ($266,800), 4828m 5:54.20 |
Kicking King was a genuine top-class chaser in his prime with two King George VI Chase triumphs and a Cheltenham Gold Cup success on his outstanding CV. He ruled the three-mile division earlier this century and enjoyed a real purple patch with four consecutive Grade 1 wins between this King George in December 2004 and the spring of the following year.
