No decision on Kauto future

Connections of Kauto Star have yet to decide whether the National Hunt legend has raced for the final time.

The 12-year-old was pulled up with over a circuit to go on his last start in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March, but connections insisted they would let the dust settle before a decision on his future would be made.

Although many National Hunt horses have now returned to training in readiness for the new campaign, Kauto Star is still in the field, accompanied by now-retired stablemate Denman.
