“I was hoping to take him to Hong Kong for that race, the [G1] Queen Elizabeth Cup, which I think is three weeks after the [G1] Queen Elizabeth S.,” Neasham told Racenet.com.au.. “We got him vaccinated for that but that's not going to be happening.”

Zaaki has proved a revelation once sent Down Under, and currently sports a record of seven wins in 11 Australian starts, three at the Group 1 level. His most recent victory was a 1 1/2-length score in the All-Star Mile at Flemington on Mar. 19.

“I'd love to take him back over to Royal Ascot,” said Neasham, who was forced to scratch her start from the G1 Cox Plate the morning of the race. “But I'd also love to win the Cox Plate with him because it was devastating what happened last year.

“Whether we can do England and come back for a Cox Plate, I don't know. We could win a Cox Plate with him and go overseas next year.”

She added, “I don't understand or get into all the ratings enough but I notice the Timeform ratings have been excellent. I just know that in this country, we've got great racing and great prizemoney.”

“I genuinely believe English King is the best horse I have ever trained and I will be very sorry to see him sold,” said Walker. “He is an outstanding prospect for the future having only raced six times and has all the credentials to attract potential buyers from throughout the world. He is a horse who loves fast ground and like all top-class horses has the ability to quicken off a fast pace as demonstrated in the Derby where he had the fastest final three furlongs of all.”
