Kauto – the story so far of a would be superstar

KAUTO STAR has been the talk of the jumps season, enthralling spectators and even sparking a debate about how to pronounce his name.

But whether it is really Kor-to, Kow-to or the seemingly preferred Kay-to, there has been no mistaking his stellar performances on the track.

With five victories to his name this campaign, not to mention a £1m bonus in the offing should he win the Cheltenham Gold Cup, it has been a sensational story. We must look back four years to find its beginning.
