Re: KEY RACE: Betfair Chase (grade 1) Haydock Sat 21st Nov Kauto Star is 5-6 with the sponsors for Saturday's Betfair Chase but they believe he could go off odds against. "For all his brilliance, it doesn't look as though Kauto Star has scared off the opposition this time, and he could just be sent off at odds against on Betfair, with the proviso that his main rivals stand their ground and it is heavy going come the weekend," said Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin. "And, having spoken to the course on Monday, both scenarios are a distinct possibility. "It is currently soft and a wet and windy week is forecast, and who would have thought Kauto Star could possibly start at odds against on his next start after trouncing the Gold Cup field by 13 lengths in March?" Betfair Chase, sponsors bet: 5-6 Kauto Star, 3-1 Notre Pere, 11-2 Madison Du Berlais, 9-1 Imperial Commander, 10-1 Barbers Shop, 13-1 Tidal Bay, 20-1 Nacarat, 25-1 Halcon Genelardais, 33-1 bar.
