    Don’t know about that a head to head record is better than the amount of times you won the big one

    The horse that beat Constitution Hill in a point to point is one nil up on him in a head to head but he’s not winning 4 Champion Hurdles

    Glad you argument is paper thin , they met 4 times … 3 to 1 is pretty clean cut … If you want to believe Kauto is better then to each there own

    One of the most remarkable things about the video that ERL posted was seeing as many as 8 runners in a novices’ chase.

    When did Kowto Star become Kauto Star :unsure:

    The more I know the less I understand.

    I’m sure Kauto would swap 16 grade 1’s for a 3-1 head to head record… :good:

    Kauto Star won over 2, 2.5 and 3+ miles and was top rated over those distances, no comparison in my opinion.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    I still feel nervous watching Kauto Star jumping, even in replays. I remember they were betting on whether or not he’d get round in the first of his Gold Cups. John Francome always used to say he never looked like falling but it never looked like that to me.

    I’m also in the KS camp. Two Tingle Creeks, four Lancashire Chases, five KGs and two Gold Cups speak for themselves.

    How many Grade 1s did Denman win going right-handed?

    Marlingford, I was also asking myself how many times during a season do we get eight runners in a Novices’ Chase?

    If he’s better why did Denman finish in front of him 3 times …. I’m not saying Kauto isn’t a great horse but sorry again …. form is form , also Kauto never had a major issue Denman came back and beat Kauto two more times after his heart issue… If 2 boxers meet 4 times and the result is 3 to 1 who’s the better boxer ….
