Kauto Star, one of Britain’s greatest racehorses, dies (The Associated Press)

Kauto Star, one of Britain’s greatest and most popular racehorses, has been euthanized after sustaining pelvis and neck injuries in a fall in a paddock. Laura Collett, who rode Kauto Star in dressage following his retirement from jump racing in 2012, said in a Twitter post on Tuesday that ”a decision was made to put him to sleep” after his injuries. Kauto Star, who was 15, won the King George VI Chase five times, and became the first horse to regain the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
