I will always be Desert Orchid fan more than a Kauto Star fan. You can't fault the way KS won the other day but I personally didn't feel the same as when Desert Orchid used to run.
There are some races that you will never forget & the one where 'Dessie' won the gold cup at cheltenham is one I will always remember with great fondness (esp as he was written off by alot of people).
DOrchids frontrunning style would probably componsate for that 4lb difference in the ratings.

A BAD DAY AT THE RACES IS BETTER THAN A GOOD DAT AT WORK.
