Kauto Star wins his FIFTH King George VI

In the world of National Hunt racing, Kauto Star needs no introduction.  Trained by Paul Nicholls, the bay gelding has had a remarkably consistent career as a top British steeplechaser.  He’s won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the Betfair Chase (four times, including this year) as well as the King George VI four consecutive times…and adding this year to make it five.  From 40 starts, his lifetime record is 23-7-4, with earnings of over $4.5M.  Not bad, for a coming 12 year old horse!

 

Check out the MASSIVE leap from Kauto Star at the ditch the second time around, at 3:35 in the video.  I don’t know how Ruby Walsh kept his white pants clean!
