The snow made sure that Ascot, Lingfield and Haydock were cancelled today, but thankfully Southwell was on today. Even though the racing quality wasn't good it was nice to look back at a feature 'Horses who have won the same race 4-5-6-7 times. This is because Kauto Star attempts to win his 5th King George Chase in a row on Boxing Day but people would stay that legendry Desert Orchid would have his record gone with 4 wins. But any each way Dessie will still be peoples 'Favourite Grey Horse'.
