Bred by the late Queen and owned by His Majesty the King, the Adelaide Cup is set to host a royal horse this year — along with a large crowd.
A horse owned by King Charles will run at the Adelaide Cup today as organisers expect to see large, post-COVID crowds through the gates at Morphettville.Event organisers are expecting about 7,000 people to attendAdelaide Cup race caller Terry McAuliffe said while there had been royal horses at the Adelaide Cup before, this year's number five, Chalk Stream, was a little unusual.
"It's quite unusual, you look at the form guide and alongside Chalk Stream you see 'breeder, the Queen, and owner the King'. "If he could run up to his old form when he was formally trained overseas where he won four of his first 10 starts he would certainly run well, but he's got a difficult barrier, so I think he's probably going around as a chance today, but certainly not as one of the favourites," he said.Morphettville Racecourse is anticipating its biggest Adelaide Cup since the beginning of COVID, with more than 7,000 people expected to attend.
