I must agree that Kauto's performance was beyond expectations in my book- i felt he would struggle to see out the extra 2 furlongs, however, he scooted up the hill.
I hope you got my tips last night of Mobaasher (40/1) and Turpin Green (50/1) both who finished third at rewarding prices. It's the road 2 Aintree now then...Nil Desperandum 4 the National!

How *fantastic* was that race!! I was on my feet and cheering by the end - and I didn't even have any money on it. The King George was marvellous back in December, but this really sets Kauto Star apart from the rest. What a brilliant and thoroughly well deserved result.

Oh that race was... AMAZING..... But when ever Ruby won a race the cries 'Ruby,Ruby,Ruby' would ring out..... Truely an amazing horse and jockey.... Enjoy the celebrations everyone!!

I entered a post last week that was rejected by the BBC. It was offering odds (jokingly, of course) as to how many times, collectively, RUK and CH4 would play the song 'Ruby' during the week! I estimated at least 3 a day, and without knowing the final tally, would be fairly confident I was right!

Back to the real matter in hand though, I couldn't be more delighted that Kauto won. I think so highly of him anf think that his win is a real boost to the sport in general. We needed a superstar, and Kauto is all that andmore. I wouldn't want to knock Best Mate but, as a fan of NH racing for many years, this horse excites me so much more than any before. I just hope and pray that he can go on and fulfil his potential legacy

What a final day and firstly Im eating humble pie beacasue I did not think Kauto Star could win the Gold Cup, but Im wrong. Despite the efforts of Exotic Dancer, Kauto Star made it look effortless and he's proved us all wrong.
I am impressed with the way he went about doing it and Ruby Walsh gave him a patient ride and allowed KS to wait until the right time and he charged. But there was only one winner in the end. The incredible thing is he is only young and will improve with time. But next year will include Denman and the return of War Of Attrition and perhaps it'll be just as good
