The King George VI Chase is one of the most prestigious steeplechase events. The 3 mile race was first run in 1937 to commemorate the ascension of King George VI. This year will be the 55th running. Many great horses have run and won the King Georgie VI Chase, with the honour roll including Desert Orchid, Arkle, Wayward Lad and Best Mate.
Originally held in February, the King George VI Chase is now held each year on Boxing Day (December 26) as part of the Stan James Christmas Festival.
In 2006 the King George Chase returns to Kempton Park Racecourse after the All Weather Track redevelopment.

December 26 2005

Jockey Barry Geraghty brought the 2004 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner up to challenge with three fences to go. And although Impek and then Monkerhostin did their best, Kicking King sneaked the win by a neck.
