King Charles has been taking an interest in the training of his only racehorse in Australia, Chalk Stream, writing to his handler Chris Waller in the wake of his recent victory.
Last month Chalk Stream delivered the King’s biggest success since he inherited the royal string from the late Queen Elizabeth when he won a Listed race on Australia Day.
The Queen had 57 Flat and jumps horses in training last year and while the numbers have been cut back since she passed away in September, Waller said the King was very much engaged with what was going on with his horses.
