Trainer Paul Nicholls added: "Kauto Star gave me my proudest day in 20 years as a trainer when he won his fourth Betfair Chase and this is deserved recognition for the great horse. It will be a constant reminder of that amazing day."

Haydock's managing director, Dickon White, reflecting on this year's race, said: "Everyone who was at the racecourse last month to see his victory will recall the race vividly for the rest of their lives. It was truly one of the most outstanding performances by a racehorse in the modern era."

A fitting tribute to a great horse.
