Top jumper Sea King is warming up for what may be his final trip across the Tasman.
“I think he’ll run at Hawke’s Bay and then go over for races like the Moss Trooper Steeples and the Grand National,” part-owner Rachael Frost said.
The Kevin Myers-trained Sea King has regularly campaigned in Australia from Patrick Payne’s Victorian stable and that move will again be implemented.
The Shinko King gelding has won 16 races over jumps, including two editions of the Moss Trooper Steeplechase (3600m), the Thackeray Steeplechase (3450m) and the Grand National Hurdles (3900m).
At home, the rising 12-year-old has twice won the Waikato Steeplechase (4100m) and the Waikato Hurdles (2800m).
