A louder roar than Kauto got at Kempton I reckon. By a couple of decibels at least! ;)

Kauto Star may have won five King Georges but Dessie would never have let him get past! Also horses back then had longer and harder campaigns, 7-8 races a year sometimes.

As for Arkle, based on 21st Century fitness and training methods, I'd be 100% confident KS would beat Arkle.

"I always felt that Desert Orchid was the best horse I had ever seen — and don't forget that I won a King George on Best Mate, who also won three Gold Cups. But now Kauto Star is as good a horse as I have ever seen. If he's good enough for the Champion jockey he's good enough for me.

@ASupremeOwl According to no less a judge than the fifteen-times champion jockey, Tony McCoy, he can be judged better than even Desert Orchid.
Double Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Kauto Star has brought jump racing into the public consciousness, much like the famous Desert Orchid before him, but McCoy feels Kauto Star has overtaken even Dessie in the greatness stakes:

@ASupremeOwl Even Paul Nicholls and Ruby Walsh have both stated that Kauto Star's timeform rating is ridiculous. Yes he won his 4th KG in some style but it was never a 191 display and he is certainly not a 4lb better horse than Dessie. Not in a million years. Kauto Star would never a Whitbread giving weight all round and winning off 11'11 it as never been done since. Dessie is the best since Arkle in my opinion...

It was simply an incredible display of guts and determination. This horse just never knew when he was beaten. Yahoo was a mud lover the ground was bottomless Dessie hated Cheltenham. yet still he found something extra to get up. Magnificent racehorse. Never to be forgotten.
