Racing TV published this video item, entitled “KAUTO STAR creates history as he regains his Gold Cup crown from stablemate Denman – Racing TV” – below is their description.
The great Kauto Star won the 2009 Cheltenham Gold Cup, seeing off stablemate Denman by 13 lengths, to become the first horse to regain National Hunt’s blue-riband race, following on from his victory in 2007.
12 months earlier it was Denman who powered to success in the race but it was a different story on this occasion as King Kauto looked back to his brilliant best, jumping and travelling with his usual verve before storming clear under Ruby Walsh to lead home a 1-2-3 for trainer Paul Nicholls.
Walsh said afterwards: “He’s the greatest horse I’ve ever ridden. Two miles, three miles, now two Gold Cups. He’s magic, he’s a wonder horse.”
