Kauto Star

[Hwjb]

Another astounding performance by the best horse I've ever seen.

Kauto Star has now won his past 4 starts by a combined 53 lengths, and here would have won with ease but for making fairly serious errors at 4 out and the last. He still won readily enough by 8 lengths from Exotic Dancer, who ran a big race in second and Racing Demon. Monet's Garden flopped, finishing sixth of the 7 finishers, having made much of the running. He had no answer once Kauto Star loomed up travelling with ridiculous ease before 4 out.

It would appear that the only way in which he can be beaten is if he doesn;t stay on his feet...and, it should be borne in mind that he will have to treat the fences at Cheltenham with more respect than he did those at Kempton yesterday. Nevertheless, at just 6 years of age, who looks set to dominate the sport for years to come. A really special, once in a lifetime horse.
