Shock in the King George VI Chase as Tornado Flyer makes history at Kempton

2022-01-17 Tornado Flyer makes history at Kempton Park. Florida Pearl won the King George VI Chase 20 years ago. Asterion Forlonge is the stable's chief hope.

Tornado Flyer is the biggest-priced winner in the history of the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton. It is 20 years since Florida Pearl got the better of triple Gold Cup winner Best Mate. Tornado Flyers nephew, Danny Mullins, rode him from the back. John Turner, who has a share in TornadoFlyer, was on to him to bring him over for the race. John couldn't go to the Kepkon because he had to watch from a car park. He had his elderly parents. Mullin's senior rode three winners at Leopardstown. The odds for Cheltenham Gold cup were slashed.
