King Kirk (Aus), one of the most promising two-year-olds in Australia following his debut win in the G3 Breeders' Plate at Randwick last month, has died as a result of a freak accident, Racenet reported on Tuesday. Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, King Kirk had participated in a barrier trial earlier in the day as he continued his preparation for a tilt at the R. Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast on Saturday, January 11. However, the son of first-season sire Ole Kirk (Aus) reportedly encountered difficulties during a routine swim after his exercise on the track and could not be saved. In a release seen by Racenet, the Waterhouse and Bott stable told MyRacehorse syndicate members involved in the colt, “Unfortunately, King Kirk has passed away this afternoon following an incident that occurred during his recovery. “King Kirk was routinely swimming at the Randwick Racecourse horse pool under the supervision of his regular handler and foreman, when he panicked causing him to swallow a significant amount of water in the process. “Despite the efforts by his handlers, ATC [Australian Turf Club], staff and veterinarians, he sadly could not be saved.” The post Magic Millions Contender King Kirk Dies in Freak Accident appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Ascot Racecourse announced on Tuesday that Felicity Barnard has been appointed as chief executive, with Alastair Warwick set to stand down from the role at the end of the year for personal reasons. Barnard currently serves as deputy chief executive at Ascot, alongside her role as commercial director. Sir Francis Brooke, chairman and His Majesty's representative at Ascot Racecourse, said, “Alastair has played a major role in the success of Ascot Racecourse since he joined the business in 2008, most recently as chief executive where he has overseen two very important and successful Royal Meetings in the new reign of King Charles III. “We are all grateful to him on so many levels and thank him for his dedication to Ascot over the past 16 years. For personal reasons Alastair has expressed a wish to step down from his role at Ascot. This will allow him time to consider other opportunities for the next stage of his career and we all wish him well. “I am delighted that Fliss Barnard has accepted the Board's invitation to become chief executive,” Brooke continued. “Fliss has already brought considerable commercial expertise to the racecourse and the wider industry. Additionally, she has led on initiatives which have seen a significant expansion of Ascot's global profile.” Warwick said, “It has been an absolute privilege to work for and then lead this organisation over the past 16 years. Ascot and Royal Ascot is only ever something you are a custodian of but during my time it has been a pleasure to see Ascot flourish and grow so much whilst supporting the community that it is a part of.” Before joining Ascot, Barnard spent four years as CEO of Tie Break Tens, where she launched the new short format of tennis internationally. She also worked at Arsenal Football Club, both in London and Singapore, and at West Ham United as their commercial director. Barnard added, “I am very excited to have been appointed to lead the business and look forward to working alongside the rest of the racing industry to promote the sport in an increasingly competitive environment.” The post Felicity Barnard to Succeed Alastair Warwick as Ascot CEO appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Regular rider James McDonald has issued a positive bulletin on Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) ahead of his bid for a historic third consecutive win in the HK$40 million G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday, December 8. California Memory (Highest Honor {Fr}) is the only other dual winner of the Hong Kong Cup in 2011 and 2012, which means Romantic Warrior would be out on his own as the most successful horse in the race's history should he repeat his 2022 and 2023 triumphs at the Longines Hong Kong International Races (HKIR). Victory would also promote Romantic Warrior (HK$154.92 million/€18.9 million) ahead of Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) (HK$167.17 million/€20.4 million) into the position of the world's highest-earning racehorse of all time. “He wears his heart on his sleeve,” McDonald said of the six-year-old Romantic Warrior, who could seek further riches in the Middle East early next year, having been given an entry in the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge at Meydan on Friday, January 24. “He's a once-in-a-lifetime horse and I would love to see him win a third. Even watching his videos at trackwork, he's moving like a well-oiled machine–he's just really strutting his stuff. He's in career-best form. “It's a great day [HKIR] to be part of and to have a live chance is even better. I just enjoy coming back to ride him [Romantic Warrior]. He gives you so much confidence as a rider. You just look forward to the day–it's very self-explanatory.” The post Romantic Warrior Given Meydan Entry Ahead of Unprecedented Hat-Trick Bid appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Rachel King and King Kirk after winning the Group 3 Breeders’ Plate. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) favourite King Kirk has tragically passed away following a freak incident at Randwick Racecourse on Tuesday. The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained colt drowned after panicking while swimming in the horse pool, a routine activity following his morning trackwork. Earlier in the day, King Kirk had participated in a 740m two-year-old barrier trial at Randwick, marking his first public appearance since his debut win in the Group 3 Breeders’ Plate. “Unfortunately, King Kirk has passed away this afternoon following an incident that occurred during his recovery,” the Waterhouse and Bott stable informed MyRacehorse owners in a statement. “King Kirk was routinely swimming at the Randwick racecourse horse pool under the supervision of his regular handler and foreman, when he panicked, causing him to swallow a significant amount of water in the process. “Despite the efforts by his handlers, ATC (Australian Turf Club) staff and veterinarians, he sadly could not be saved.” The son of first-season stallion Ole Kirk had been the $15 favourite with horse racing bookmakers for next year’s $5 million Golden Slipper and was being targeted for January’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) at the Gold Coast, a race won last year by Waterhouse and Bott’s former star colt Storm Boy.
