  • Kauto Star, a Steeplechasing Legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr
    ‘Like a hawk among house sparrows’: Kauto Star, a steeplechasing legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr Thomas Fletcher, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK The concept of ‘icon’ has been applied to numerous athletes as a result of their sporting achievements, likeable public personas, and stories of triumph, resilience and courage. The cultural role of the horse as icon, hero, celebrity and national luminary, however, is lacking within the literature. In this article we extend this human concept to apply to the racehorse Kauto Star, who was heralded by many as the saviour of British racing in the early twenty‐first century. We argue that the narrative surrounding Kauto Star had all the essential ingredients for the construction of a heroic storyline around this equine superstar: his sporting talent; his flaws and ability to overcome adversity; his ‘rivalry’ with his stable mate; his ‘connections’ to high profile humans in the racing world; and, the adoration he received from the racing public. Media representations are key elements in the construction of sporting narratives, and the production of heroes and villains within sport. In this paper we construct a narrative of Kauto Star, as produced through media reports and published biographies, to explore how this equine star has been elevated beyond the status of ‘animal’, ‘racehorse’ or even ‘athlete’ to the exalted position of sporting icon. Key words: Animals, celebrity, equine sport, hero, icon, media representation, racing Introduction Sports lend themselves to the production and presentation of cultural icons. The status of a sporting icon is usually conferred on men and women for their performances on a field of play.2 However, is iconicity defined by performances alone? Over the last three/four decades there has been a proliferation of writings about the achievements of certain sports men and women.

  • Bulletin Book Extracts
    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.

  • ROBERT POWER (PUPPY POWER) Age: 31 From: Co Meath Prior To
    ROBERT POWER (PUPPY POWER) Age: 31 From: Co Meath Prior to becoming one of the top National Hunt jockeys in Ireland, Robbie Power was a very promising show jumper, who won a silver medal at the European Young Rider Championships. His father, Captain Con Power was a member of the Irish team that dominated the Aga Khan Cup in the late ‘70s and rode the legendary stallion Rockbarton. Power senior left the Irish Defence Forces and show jumping to become a racehorse trainer, so his offspring had all the angles covered. Robbie plumped for racing while his sister, Elizabeth is one of Ireland’s most successful eventing riders and it was on her horse, Doonaveeragh O One that he returned to his roots to finish third in the Eventer’s Grand Prix at Hickstead last year. That was fun though. Racing is business although when his boss, Jessica Harrington feels a horse needs something different to help it rediscover its enthusiasm, she invariably gets Power to take it hunting. And on behalf of his sister, he is always on the lookout for an ex-racehourse that might have a future in the eventing world. He was 20 when he returned to racing and rode his first winner on his mother’s mare, Younevertoldme at Punchestown. He worked at Willie Mullins’ yard for a while before getting a job with the Closutton maestro’s equally legendary father, Paddy. Two months after his first winner, he notched up his first success as a conditional jockey for his new boss on Bob What in a valuable Leopardstown handicap.

Though the sale has had its fair share of marquee results down the years, including G1 Hong Kong Mile winner The Duke (Aus) (Danehill) (HK$1.6 million purchase) and world champion and treble Hong Kong Mile hero Good Ba Ba (Lear Fan) (HK$1.7 million), >TDN Rising Star= Pakistan Star (Ger) (Shamardal) could take the event to new heights this weekend.

    Gold Cup Preview GOLD CUP PREVIEW Plenty of comparisons have already been made between Arkle and Best Mate, and they’re bound to become even more popular should the best staying chaser of the present day complete a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cup victories in mid-March. Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157. Arkle gave them a 43 lb and 55 lb beating respectively and was 10/1-on when making it five out of five for the season when taking Best Mate jumps the second last in splendid isolation twelve month ago 1 Cheltenham Festival Issue the Gold Cup in a canter.
