The inside track for those who need to know

If form means anything at all, this is an opportunitty to "fill your boots".
Anything better than 1/4 will do! So 4/7 is terrific value.
Now fit, he's at least 20 lb better than any rival.
But be aware, there's no such thing as a certainty, so don't chance the rent money!
Merry Christmas all

........Kauto Star is rated 184 by Timeform - joint-sixth in the all-time ratings - while Arkle's best rating was 212
Those who were around to see "Himself" wouldn't dispute the difference between greatness and, well, Singularity.
Hope you followed your own wise advice, Adonis. May all your prospects for 2010 be as successful!
I never have more than a modest bet on odds-on chances - no matter what the differential between their probability and the odds offered. It doesn't take that much courage to put 10% of your bank (I never, ever, bet more than 10% of the bank!) onto something as probable as Kauto Star winning. There's "filling your boots" and then there's "emptying your brains"!
Mathematical probabilities can't account for a horse sticking both feet into the front of a fence - they all have the capability of doing daft things occasionally. Usually only when we're all over-staked!
I'll be very happy for him to win comfortably and buy me just a couple of drinks. And I won't be throwing myself out of the window if he loses!

BTW I have a very knowledgeable friend who was on Denman large on both Henesseys and the Gold Cup victory, who just won't hear of defeat today. He has had a massive bet at a price worthy of his courage, and if Kauto were to have an off day it would be so good to see his bravery rewarded.
But I do think only a fall or serious mistake stands between Kauto Star and the winner's enclosure.....
