KING OF SWING SALUTES AGAIN

King Of Swing looks primed for Blacks A Fake title defence.

Driver Luke McCarthy couldn’t hide his grin after yet another cosy win aboard the champion six-year-old in the Mr Feelgood Open Pace (2138m) at Albion Park last Saturday night.

He now heads to the $100,000 Group 1 Sunshine Sprint next Saturday night and the $250,000 Group 1 Blacks A Fake a week later.

“He’s such a beautiful horse to drive,” McCarthy said. “He usually prefers a horse racing with him to keep his mind on the job, but he kicked away and went to the line really well tonight.

“He wouldn’t have blown a candle out after the race, he’s right where he needs to be for the next two weeks.

“Racing him three weeks in a row really suits him, he’ll thrive on it. It’s something we deliberately planned.”

King Of Swing cruised home by 8.1m in a 1min54.2sec with local hero Colt Thirty One a brave second after doing all the work and local up-and-comer L L Cool J showing he was a genuine force with a terrific third from an awful draw.
