All The King's Men Credits King's Troop with First Stakes Winner

Mark Smith - Sunday January 29

Narrowly defeated in the Listed Fairetha Stakes and Listed Sir Ernest Lee-Steere Classic, All The King's Men finally had a photo go his way with a last stride win over the gallant front-runner Feels Playful in the Greenfields Breeders' Classic (1400m) at Pinjarra on Sunday.

Ridden by Paul Harvey for Trevor Andrews, All The King's Men credited his sire King's Troop with his first stakes-winner. He defeated the filly Feels Playful (Playing God) by a short head with Gage Roads (Gold Standard) a length and a quarter back in third.

"We were concerned about the speed map, and I told Paul you are no hope if you go back, so we hatched a plan to be positive," Andrews said.

"He relaxed with the visors off, and I want to go to a mile or further, but he is a lovely horse bright a bright future.

"He had a big loose walk as a yearling and was the last lot of the sale.

"He is from an old family of mine through Key Business, so we know the family well."

All The King's Men advances his record to  four wins and four seconds from 13 starts with earnings of $464,570 

 He was the 303rd and final lot of the 2021 Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale and was a $45,000 purchase for his trainer from the Taunton Vale draft.

From the second crop of Snitzel's three-quarter brother King's Troop (Redoute's Choice), All The King's Men is the first foal of the Demerit mare Huette, a sister to Group III WATC Gimcrack Stakes winner King Bang Love.

Huette had just two named foals before being retired. She has a 2yo brother to All The King's Men named Kings Salute.
