Kauto Star looked in trouble a fair way out ... just have a feeling that it is the beginning of the end.

Kauto reported to have a small bleed after the race....possible excuse

Either way 12/1 with hills for gold cup is a big price...I'll have some of that.

I reckon Kauto should be retired. At 11, age is probably starting to catch up with him.

If he does nothing in the Gold Cup that will add to F-won a poor Down Royal race-3 which would be sad to see as he has been the best chaser of his generation.

I had money on the Henderson horse in the second at Kempton, then money on Quito de la Roque (watch the race, tremendous ride from Russell - the horse looked beat until the end) and then rolled it onto Kauto. I suspect there will be doctors and hospitals up and down the country treating many cases of burned fingers today.


Don't think theres a better jockey around than Davy Russell at the minute, some of his rides have been excellent.

Had a nightmare of a day so far, bookies well on top by the looks of it!

Had a very stong word for Takamaru in next at Ffos Las!!

Claimed back some of yesterdays Kauto losses by laying one at Fairyhouse, one at Southwell and one at Ffos Las.

Huddersfield are a bloody good price of 7/4 to win at Carlisle later this evening. They have one of the best teams in League One and we're suffering after losing a few of our loanees back to their parent clubs. I'll be having a dabble as that is a great price!

VERY WELL RED.2.20.Ling 9/2
SULTAN FONTAILLE.4.00.Taun 6/5

Good winner at Ling, went off 9/2. Shame the odds on fave at Taunton got narrowly beaten, would've made a nice double.

Didn't see those til now with being at work, had a little look at the stuff at Wolves but none of these later races interest me. Didn't get on the computer in time to lay Munsef, which I'm gutted about.
