I was at Henrietta Knight's today, and following a parade of horses and a leisurely wander round the yard there was a 'question & answer' session with Hen and Terry - the latter is well known to be quite indiscreet
(The badinage between them was great btw)

Someone asked which horse Terry thought would win the Gold Cup. In explaining why he thought it would be KS, he added (and this is a verbatim quote):
"... This year they've done the right thing, as Hen did, and not raced the horse much so he's coming into it fresh. And anyway, Kauto Star had a few problems last year coming up to the race, that we weren't told about at the time. "

I never imagined I was the only person who knew that, but I assure you I'm not talking through my ass - and I was pleased to hear yet another person (and in a position to have his ear to the ground) confirm it, in front of quite a lot of people too.
