Schoolboy King calls tune

Connor King added to his growing reputation when landing the featured J And B O’Sullivan Builders Kingdom Gold Cup Handicap aboard the Andy Oliver-trained Jazz Girl at Killarney last night.

The 17-year-old returned to school yesterday – he’s doing his Leaving Cert at Kanturk – and then made his way to Kerry to give the gambled-on winner a superb drive.

Said King: “I stayed in school until 3.15. I only missed a single class, one of two Irish classes I had.”
