Kauto Star

[Iron]

What do people think of Kauto Star's chances tomorrow?

Over-hyped and a good lay, or a sure thing?

Hi Jeff

Kauto will see off his rivals here without doubt,if your going to lay him the if you can get bigger odds in running then lump on

If you are betting in a race then you are looking for an angle.

I personally think the price of Kauto Star is about right (1.61 to 1.62) and around Kempton he is at his best. Although Imperial Commnader looks his chief treat on paper, there is a question mark about going right handed - although to be fair he has only done it twice (never looked like winning in either) and this is not enough evidence to be righting him off.

If I was betting I would be thieving some double figure each way on Barbers Shop who did't stay in the gold cup and Hennesy and this is more up his street.

I'll be trading though and this will offer plenty of opportunities.

For those brave enough to go in play, I would be amazed if Kauto didn't travel extremely well and could trade alot shorter in running. Last year he took it up 5-6 out. Also Barbers Shop could travel really well and for a small outlay (back to lay) you could see a big swing. But I want to watch this race and enjoy it so I'll just trade pre-race.

Whatever you do, watch it as it is a great spectacle!

he might of took it up 5 out but he still traded at 4 in running

[Stewart]

fair play kingyo and the point is if you are trading in runnning you need to do your homework. Seem like you have.

I'll just be pre-race trading on this and looking for a Christams Cracker of a race.

Oops, Didn't expect that movement just before the off! Still managed to get something out of it but not as much as I wanted.

I started off on the wrong side but got a pretty good three figures.

Anyway let's hope PN can get both Denman and Kauto Star to Chelt in top order then we will be in for one hell of a race and it will be great for racing.

I was trying to get filled with tons on the back side when the price pinged out so I suddenly found myself -£300, but recovered. I didn't think the price could possibly continue out forever as it didn't seem realistic that people were actually laying Kauto expecting him to lose.

He completely hosed up didn't he, very very impressive.

Great to watch and I was the same as you re the trading - horse was ' a bit hot' according to the commentary but this was about 30secs-1min after a big chunk was laid. Anyway good trading (in the end) and an excellent racehorse.

Trade of the day had to be waited for until the last race of the day:
