A true great RIP.

By:
Very sad news. Gave me my biggest win when I had £2000 on in the 1st of his gold cup wins. Was **** myself when it came to the last! Rip old boy horse of a lifetime

Will never forget the roar of the crowd when he jumped the last in the Betfair at Haydock.

Howard - you have no evidence , as you yourself concede, and I did not say or infer what you assert. Logic is clearly not your strong suit.
|
|
By:
Howard is right - how dare there be anything in the field for the horses to jump - it's an accident waiting to happen and horses should by law not have anything in the field that they can jump and thus injure themselves - tress and bushes included. They should all have landscaping to be as flat as can be and if not then Howard is on the case.........

I think it is very disappointing that Smith/Collett only let Nicholls know just before they told the press. Even if they had not repaired the relationship with Nicholls it would have been the right thing to do for Clifford Baker.
Smith should thank his lucky stars that Nicholls brilliance at training steeplechasers gained him so many victories. |

RUK will put something fitting together

^
they may well do, having said that they should have been on air earlier to at least replay some of his races......what we've had so far is a crumpled Gordon broon droning on about a boring Hamilton card and 5 minutes from Lydia hislop  |

By:
Smith on now. Seems like several days before they thought it was serious. Sounds like a vet didn't see him the day it happened

emotional scenes on RUK

smith...main thanks goes to Clifford Baker.......Paul Nicholls did his bit as well.......Walsh not mentioned.
|
|
By:
Nicholls did his bit
 |
|
By:
RUK have a bit more footage than ATR's Down Royal race. Of course, they still have the three horse race where he fell and Walsh remounted, and the subsequent defeat by Monkerhostin at Exeter.

Great horse in great races. Horses of class are what racing is all about. The opposite of the sand rubbish that is increasingly being fobbed off on us.
|
|
By:
Exactly what is Clive Smith's problem ?
|
|
By:
Arrogance.
Bit like PFN. |
|
By:
Nichols, as usual, showing a lack of class with his sly innuendoes.

By:
I know Clive Smith and he is a thoroughly decent bloke. The problem here lies with Nicholls - it's all about him and what a nasty little dig about not being informed. Why the hell should he when all you've done Nicholls is say unpleasant things about Smith, if not directly then by sly innuendo.

Wonderful horse, thanks for the memories Kauto Star .
|
|
By:
One of my all time favs.
I was fortunate to watch him race several times, including his Cheltenham gold cup victories, cheering him on up the home straight. Such a tragedy to hear of his death today RIP |

still can't believe he got beat off 149 at exeter

Am I alone in thinking Kauto Star had extraordinary injuries and problems for a paddock accident? #gutted #kautothelegend |
|
By:
Doubt we'll ever get the truth of what happened here...

Gutted.
My favourite ever horse and my best moment in racing being there at Chelters watching him regain the GC. Not many have the speed to smash the top 2 milers and the stamina and guts to win a slog around 3m2f at Chelters; as well as everything in between. He was the finest NH horse I am likely to ever see. R.I.P |
|
By:
Fantastic horse! Sorry to see him go... and hope he's up there somewhere giving Arkle and the other legends a proper run for their money.
|
|
By:
Tinjakko the weights for a 3 miler up there next week have just been published and Arkle has been set to give him 24 pounds. Needless to say Arkle is odds on but its a bit like here you can only get a fiver max on.

though I leaned more to towards denman,i used to love watching kauto star`s risky jumps,there was always an edge to him imo,best chaser iv`e ever seen and it`s a sad day for horse racing
|
|
By:
A sad day for racing fans everywhere and a truly special horse.
Really hope Smith was right when he said he wasn't in any pain, as it sounded a horrific way to go. |

Bless him
