My love is a theosophist

  Kauto Star won at Ascot very much in the a,manner I would have expected.  His main challengers, Monet's Garden and Racing Demon are good animals in heir own right, but not quite in the same class as the reigning champ.  Unfortunately the Paul Nicholls runner has apparently suffered ...
