I OWN NOTHING A reupload of my tribute to the king of jumps racing, Kauto Star. This is more than likely going to be his last season racing, if he is soundly beaten he may even be retired after his next race. Along with Denman (my all time favourite horse) he has changed the face of jumps racing. He's won the King George four times, two tingle creeks, three betfair chases, two cheltenham gold cups and so many more besides. He was a truly brilliant horse in his prime. Hope you enjoy it :)

Kauto Star :|| THE KING [01:35]
Can King Kauto make it five consecutive King George victories on Saturday. I think so. He's one of, if not THE best steeplechaser since Arkle, and his spectacular victories have lit up the world of jump racing. His record his phenomenal when you think about it-four King George's in a row, two Cheltenham Gold Cups, Two Tingle Creeks, an Ascot Chase, three Betfair Chases, an Aon Chase, an Old Roan Chase, two grade ones in ireland. He's won everything! It's a shame his regular partner, Ruby Walsh will be unable to ride him, but the great jockey Tony Mccoy is a more than worthy substitute in my opinion. The greatest jockey ever on one of the greatest horses ever, what a combination! While my heart will always hold a special place for the mighty Denman above all others, the horse who is the reason I started watching racing and who I hope can regain his Gold Cup in March that he won in 2008, Kauto Star for me is the kind of horse that jump racing is about-fast, versatile, brave and a great jumper! If he is able to win his fifth King George it would be a very special day for racing. Good luck King Kauto!
