107 entered for KGVI
NZPA-Reuter London A total of 107 horses from five countries have been entered for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 22. The Ascot race will be worth nearly $190,000 to the winner — a record for the event. Forty-six of the entries are trained in France, 44 in Britain, 14 in Ireland, two in Italy and one in the United States. The American-trained entry is That’s A Nice, a four-year-old from the stable of Noel Hickey, which finished second to Noble Dancer in the Hialeah Turf Handicap earlier this year. One French-based trainer alone, Maurice Zilber, has entered 17 horses, including Trillion, winner of the Prix Ganay and Prix Dollar. Other French entrants include this year's French Derby winner, Acamas, and
last year’s French St Leger victor, Rex Magna. i 1 "■
