Meet an equine hero - Get ready to meet a true champion, Kauto the King! During his thrilling career, this wonderful horse became an absolute star right here at Newton Abbot Racecourse, treating fans to multiple brilliant victories and earning a special place in our hearts. Now officially retired from the track, Kauto is enjoying a happy, well-deserved second career learning new skills in the Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) program. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome him back to his favourite turf today as our 'Equine Hero.' Whether you cheered him on across the finish line during his racing days or are meeting him for the very first time, come say hello and experience the gentle nature of this incredible athlete up close!
