Kauto Star becomes the first horse in history to regain the Gold Cup.

Having lost his crown to his great stablemate and rival Denman the year before, Kauto Star got his revenge in devastating fashion, travelling like the machine he was and kicking away up the straight to display his complete superiority.

Even over a course and distance never to his liking, the French gelding was just too classy for one of the best Gold Cup fields in the past 30 years, in what was a golden era for staying chasers.

After the race, his jockey Ruby Walsh, who won Tingle Creeks, Betfair Chases, King Georges and Ascot Chases on Kauto Star, as well as an RSA, Hennessy and a Lexus on Denman, confirmed Kauto Star as the greatest horse he ever sat on.
