SIMPLY BRILLIANT! Kauto Star wins fourth King George VI Chase (2009) in a row... and by 36 lengths!

Unforgettable. Having taken the Betfair Chase by a hard-fought nose on his seasonal reapperance, plenty were thinking that Imperial Commander might be the one to dethrone Kempton king Kauto Star, but instead the Paul Nicholls-trained champion produced a simply brilliant performance to win by a record-breaking margin.
This victory saw him given a Timeform rating of 191, the highest given to a horse in almost 40 years and making him the joint-third highest-rated steeplechaser of all time.

The best horse I have ever seen. What he did over an extended period of time over distances between 2 and 3 miles 2 furlongs was a pleasure to witness. A racing great 6:25

[@wolfpackmaha]

My god. Watching this as a racing fan makes me speechless every time. I’ve never seen a horse perform so well at any track, and to demolish the field by 36 lengths, and win the race for the fourth year on the bounce and go on to maintain his title and win it for a fifth year in a row is such a feat. Amazing. What a horse.

[@roberto4001000]

Arkle won it by 40 lengths conceding a stone in weight to his rivals, the greatest racehorse if all time was Arkle .

for me a true great ... 2 miles to 3 miles plus, including giving weight in H\caps and his durability over so many seasons, puts him on top by a long way .

[@charliebear1436]

Top horses don't hit fences or walk through them like this horse did. See him hit the 2nd last in the 2011 renewal for a typical example. Silver Buck would have eaten him and spat him out, he gave away more weight when winning handicaps too.

[@tomlerwill1421]

@@charliebear1436 the handicap argument is moot. Suppose the rest of the field here runs off 10st0lbs …. What happens? He still wins easily by multiple lengths. This remains the single greatest 3m chase performance I’ve ever seen and am likely to see in my lifetime
