Kauto Star heads for million
It's hard to believe that after Kauto Star made his return to
racing this season many people were quick to write this sublime animal
off. Although he was unbeaten last season his reappearance saw him
unable to concede weight and beat another top horse in Monet's Garden
over a distance short of his best.
But the champ has set the record books straight after absolutely
breath taking performances and has put himself well in contention to
win the Betfair million for a second consecutive year.
His biggest danger has to be another superb Nicholls horse in
Denman who has yet to put a foot wrong this season with Star De
Mohaison, Turko, Gungadu and Neptune Collonges finalizeing the
Nicholls brigade. The Irish entries are headed by In Compliance, and
Snowy Morning but look to have a lot to do.
Bridesmaid to the champ-Exotic Dancer along with Aces Four and
L'Antartique are others entered while Our Vic heads Pipes hopefulls.
The Gold Cup is set to be the race of the season but Kauto Star looks
to be a solid early selection.
