from ratings angle...would think KS has run to a 175 today ..at this stage in his career..unbelievable figure

Indeed. He was peachy fit today though and I think he's a mental price for the King George.

it just highlights how lucky we have been to have such as Denman..KS...so to be fair..best be cherishing Long Run becaus those below these 3 are 10lb+ inferior.

it was a pitiful sight at Punchestown..think they should have stopped at Cheltenham..where he had plainly had enough for the season
as a fresh horse..he is still a major force...can he do it again in a few weeks..wouldn't bet against it..i think we all would love to see another KG...today was special..another KG would be a dream

Punchestown was a non-factor, just as it was for Denman the previous year.

i'd like them to not run him again until the GC tbh..the KG may not be realistic..whereas you just never know..the GC may be the one

He hasn't got the speed for the KG and Denman owns him in the Gold Cup. Grand National maybe?

I would go for the King George personally, still think Kauto can do the big two races again but it would be more dangerous to run him in a Gold Cup I feel.

owns him..does he bugger
if KS runs like today in March..how many horses will pass him?..probably one..IF he jumps better that is
not many 175+ horses about now

but if he has trained for today..which Nicholls said and all evidence from other fto's where he patently wasn't 100%..points to....then he could well bounce at Kempton..which would be a real shame..whereas he will get to the GC as today..fresh and ready to go

In their Gold Cup meetings Denman leads Kauto 3-1

I respect your knowledge in this arena, but can't go with Denman being so great nowadays.
He wouldn't, I think, be capable of turning in a performance like KS's today ... nowadays.
When he goes close, before the GC, would be re-evaluation time.
Well he needs some consolation for not having been versatile enough to take Kauto on in the KG and Tingle Creek.

Biased? It's not as if I'm going to the Lexus just to see him jump a fence in his last season.
