The Good Bits

[lil_shepherd]

There were some good things over Christmas. The first was seeing Kauto Star, a horse I have loved from afar since I first saw him, win his fourth King George VI Chase, the second most important race in England, after the Cheltenham Gold Cup (which he has won twice) in consecutive years. The great Desert Orchid won four, but he didn't win them in

Yes, wasn't that fantastic? I've seen him win the Gold Cup, and I bet Mr Nichols is a happy man this New Year.

We went down to Ditcheat a couple of weeks ago to get a signed copy of Nichols' autobiography.

Kauto is a wonderful horse. Just how wonderful, we're only just starting to see.

I saw T's post.

I've never seen Kauto Star jump better than on Boxing Day.
