This entry is both reckless and dangerous for Nicholls and Kauto was lucky to get through that race alive. He puffed him up all week and is correctly pulled up by Rubjust added to his poor past efforts at the festival for a so called superstar he,s ran some shockers at cheltenham.so hard to say if it was due to setback,age or just par for the causehttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001679/nicholls---a-grade-a-clown?post_id=517677209#517677209just added to his poor past efforts at the festival for a so called superstar he,s ran some shockers at cheltenham.so hard to say if it was due to setback,age or just par for the causeSun, 18 Mar 2012 14:25:06 -0500Do seem to remember Nicholls saying he had Kauto BETTER THAN HE'S EVER BEEN, before the betfair chase and the king george, would that not in retrospect seem quite plausible and if he got it wrong before the gold cup then he got wrong, it happens, prehttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001679/nicholls---a-grade-a-clown?post_id=517676863#517676863Do seem to remember Nicholls saying he had Kauto BETTER THAN HE'S EVER BEEN, before the betfair chase and the king george, would that not in retrospect seem quite plausible and if he got it wrong before the gold cup then he got wrong, it happens, preSun, 18 Mar 2012 14:15:29 -0500will they retire Kauto Star though?https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001679/nicholls---a-grade-a-clown?post_id=517663535#517663535will they retire Kauto Star though?Sun, 18 Mar 2012 04:47:36 -0500I just wish Nicholls would STFU about having Kauto 'better than he's ever been' before every race though.You can set your watch by this garbage.Hopefully it won't matter in future, since they should retire the horse immediately.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001679/nicholls---a-grade-a-clown?post_id=517662831#517662831I just wish Nicholls would STFU about having Kauto 'better than he's ever been' before every race though.You can set your watch by this garbage.Hopefully it won't matter in future, since they should retire the horse immediately.Sun, 18 Mar 2012 03:25:14 -0500I totally disagree with you Grale. Kauto wasnt the only horse to pull up at Cheltenham. Of course he was also pulled up there in 2010. PN won 2 of the four main races. How many other trainers even won 2 ordinary races there.

I'm pretty sure they were more influenced by the possible place in the history books than any monetary concerns.

I'm just glad he's in one piece but it is clear that he was in no way fit & ready to run in a race as demanding as the Gold Cup. I'm just happy he was pulled up early before he did himself any harm.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29001679/nicholls---a-grade-a-clown?post_id=517632539#517632539Well World Hurdle really Harry Fry trained ROR.
