King Kirk, a favourite for the $5 million race at Rosehill, drowned in a Randwick pool accident following a trial run.
King Kirk, a two-year-old colt on a path towards paydays totalling $4.5 million in the next four months, drowned in a training pool accident at Randwick on Tuesday.
The two-year-old was a $300,000 yearling purchase this year at the Magic Millions sales on the Gold Coast. Clark, one of the Waterhouse-Bott stable’s go-to jockeys, said King Kirk showed in his first trial back that he was on track for more success as he prepared for January’s Magic Millions carnival on the Gold Coast.“It was very distressing news to come through, and I feel for all the staff and connections, and everyone involved,” Clark said.
