Love this quote -

If Kauto beats us, he'll take us between the last two fences. They say no one's made all the running in a Gold Cup, but there's never been a Denman before. We know what is going to happen. Denman is going to come down the hill, Kauto is going to come at us. If Kauto Star is on the bridle and he stays, he will go past us. If it comes to a war, we will crush him."

Denman's co-owner Harry Findlay.

They probably won't go head to head till the next Gold Cup. I would back Denman all the way for it. Kuato hardly cleared a fence.
