Kinane aiming for King George glory

Michael Kinane will bid to improve on his already impressive tally in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes when he partners Grandera for Godolphin in Saturday’s showpiece at Ascot.

The Irish jockey, who will be having his eighth ride in the race, has won the prestigious contest in the past on Belmez (1990), King’s Theatre (1994), Montjeu (2000) and Galileo (2001).
