Winner of Gold Cup's success will be tainted.

Think we probably have a Kauto Star layer at 14s on here who listened to Nicholls instead of thinking Nicholls would rather extract all of his own teeth with pliers rather than not run Kauto Star, his favourite ever and record breaking horse in a race where he falls one race short of a hat-trick in joining other great winners of the race.

Instead of laughing at Nicholls ongoing pantomime he bought the story and has watched the inevitable happen ... Kauto turning up 'absolutely bouncing, rolloing in his box, Nicholls overjoyed at his own genius and storytelling in achieving this never in doubt feat of getting him to the race'.
