Anyone know anything about the horse, King Charles, who played The Pie in National Velvet, 1945?

He was a beautiful horse, a TB turf jumper. It is reported that he was the grandson of Man O War. I can't find him in the TB pedigree database. When the movie was over Elizabeth Taylor was given the horse. She also injured her back permanently in a fall from the horse in the movie. I also noticed how badly the person doing the jumps was - sitting up straight as the horse went up with their back whipping back over the horse's behind. I can't imagine it was her. She was only 12.
