A win for The King
The King had his first win as monarch yesterday, as Just Fine enjoyed a comfortable victory under jockey Ryan Moore at Leicester. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained four-year-old pulled clear of his rivals at the furlong pole, widening the gap in the closing stages. He crossed the finish line four and a half lengths ahead of 9/4 favourite Sea The Casper in the 3.10pm 1m2f Kube – Leicester’s Premier Event Hire Venue handicap, making history as the first winner for His Majesty since he became The King.
