Golden Eagle winner Mark Chittick reveals Starship Children’s Hospital rejected $520,000 donation from Waikato Stud

Starship Children's Hospital declined a donation from Waikato Stud. I Wish I Win won the Golden Eagle at Rosehill in Sydney on Saturday.

Golden Eagle winner Mark Chittick reveals Starship Children's Hospital rejected $520,000 donation from Waikato Stud. The win earned the gelding's connections $5.25m. Chitick wanted to send the money home to Auckland but the charity's rules required 10% of the winnings to be forwarded to a charity. Starship Foundation cited existing partnership obligations. The organisation has previously accepted donations from Windsor Park Stud and Aotearoa Gaming Trust. It also accepted a donation of $10m from I Wish I Win. A special thanks was given to AOTearoA Gaming trust.
