Kauto Star

See, i quite think Fair Along is home and hosed for the Arkle, in a way i hope he gets beat today, because i want the price to push out a bit.

It wouldnt surprise me to see Denman in the Arkle, but im not quite so sure that he is as good as i imagined him to be.

An interesting one is Dom D'orgeval (spelling?) in the world hurdle. Pipe has got it now and i think it was David Johnson who paid stupid amounts for the horse, something like £200,000 or smething. I know many people that have backed it around the 100 mark (i think)

Ive made the silly decision of having an ante post bet in the bumper........ i dont know why i did it. Got that thing of Pipe's that won the listed bumper so easilly first time out the other week.

Acambo has been well supported for the Arkle but apparently hasnt been schooled yet............... as i say, 'apparently'.lol.

The Triumph is always one of my FAV races havingbacked the winner every year for the past 3 years. The horse that won in Ireland yesterday, the name expcapes me but begun with J looked very impressive but i dont think he beat much.

Yeah thats the fella, looked very good for a very cheeky win yesterday, would like to see what he finds off the bridle before having a bet though because you cant win a Triumph that easy

The day has arrived. Kauto Star has the chance to take his place amongst the true greats of the sport.

Can't back him and can't lay him today. In my opinion people are foolish to back him at the prohibitive odds and people are even more foolish to lay him because he is a horse with an abundance of talent.

I'm not sure whether he will make it round (his jumping errors can't be ignored, and with the amount of 'bankers' falling so far this week..... its hard not to be worried) I'm also not convinced he will have the stamina to last out over the extended 3m2f today, especially when it still looks rather sticky and tacky ground at Cheltenham.

I will probably back State Of Play e/w, he comes into the race fresher than most and the form of the Hennesy was given a boost in the William Hill handicap on Tuesday with Juvignor carrying a big weight only just to be denied on the line.

Badass.....

did it easy enough on Friday. perhaps not as impressive as his other wins this year, but he got the job done, jumped well and comfortably held exotic and turpin (who my bet at 10-1 to be placed on Betfair wasn't matched!!!).Onward and upwards I hope. I suppose if there is a bad omen, it is that the last three Gold Cup winners before KS (Best Mate, Kicking King and War of Attrition) never even made it back to try to defend their crown.. Let's hope he gets there next year in one piece, in the same form and ready for a mouthwatering race with him, Denman, Star de Mohaison and Neptune Collonges. Nicholls 1-2-3-4...
