Because they are following the very same path as last year that lead them to Gold Cup sucess.
December 28, 2006 at 10:31 #34470Rather inflexible then? And would they have sent him over if Kauto wasnt a runner? Hypothetical of course, but if not, then (unless hes a confirmed bad traveller..which deosnt seem to be the case) it wouldnt make sense to me
Isnt the ground heavier this year too?

I wouldn’t entirely disagree with that theory although I haven’t yet analysed the race so I don’t know what mark I have any of them running to. I don’t think a sharp track like Kempton is really up Kauto’s street I think he’s much better on a more gallopping track. I know he’s run well at Kempton and Aintree but lets face it he’s good enough that he’ll run well anywhere.

Market Man,
That kinda contradicts many things that has been said of KS, i.e. he needs a galloping track. I actually would totally disagree with that statement, the horse has won a grade 1 over 2 miles and does posses a lot of speed, so I’m not sure how you could argue that he needs a galloping track….

He does possess a lot of natural speed – but I personally think a galloping track brings out the best in him. If the King George had been run at Haydock he’d have won by half the track :biggrin:
