About
King Of Light is a 4yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Daniel Morton at Ascot. He is by Earthlight out of Queen's Parade. Having secured a Group Two victory and accumulated $655,180 in earnings, he is seen as a highly skilled racehorse. On 22 November 2025 at Ascot, rider William Pike guided him to his biggest triumph, winning the $500,000 W.A. Guineas over Heeza Phoenix. He has consistently delivered profit for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 133% return on investment.
