Kauto Star - Before they were famous!

Before he was famous! Matt Chapman heads across the Channel to trace Kauto Star's roots back to a barn in deepest France. From such a small and humble base, Kauto Star's mother Kauto Relka was born and the rest, as they say, is history...
The rise of the French thoroughbred in British and Irish National Hunt racing has become an ever-increasing trend in recent years, best typified by the spectacular success of the brilliant Kauto Star. But why do French-bred jumpers seem so good? Matt talks to the mater French trainer Guillaume Macaire to find out more...

True my friend.

[@azertyuiop32]

i knew kauto before he was famous. he was just a down to earth working class horse.

[@GMANNNHOODTHND]

hammy bradstock 😂😂😂 how the fuck can a horse be working class it's a animal you fucking idiot

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Phalaris is in the breeding of a lot of the top international show jumpers (Olympics, World Champsionships etc) "they can Jump" great blood.

[@racingeye]

@jrisquez Yes you are right but a lot less Phalaris than British or irish bred horses. I think that is why they do so well.

[@Lukestar249]

@MANFROMMARS46 not yet

[@D3TRIM3NT4L]

ive been in the game for years i think i should know a thing or 2 by now lol, ive been behind kauto since the first race it ever ran and the comment i left that day it was pulled up in the g.c was more of a joke than anything else i didnt actually mean it, also what really saddened me was the death of synchronised in the national as it was another waste of a great horse so im not sure what you mean there at all

[@MANFROMMARS46]

@liverpool5917 I think Long Run's youth will tell but I hope you're wrong.

[@FallenAngelDream]

@fhills76 Couldn't have said it better myself ;)

[@MANFROMMARS46]

He's unlikely to win a third Gold Cup but I hope he does.

[@liverpool5917]

@MANFROMMARS46 Money still against him now mate? ;)

[@racingeye]

Why the French breds do so well. Because they are not riddled with the Phalaris bloodline.

[@MANFROMMARS46]

Poor old Kauto never did win three Gold Cups.

[@D3TRIM3NT4L]

I really liked this horse but after today i hope it had to be put down
