ALAN KING IS taking comfort from the many messages of support he has received since the sad death of stable stalwart Trueshan in what he described as a “freak accident” at Goodwood on Tuesday.

One of the most popular Flat horses of his era, the star stayer was making the 35th appearance of his career and fourth start in the Goodwood Cup he had previously won in 2021, when pulled up by Hollie Doyle at halfway, suffering what proved a fatal injury.
