CHAMPION trainer Paul Nicholls on Monday said any talk of retirement for legendary chaser Kauto Star was "very premature" and he does not expect to contemplate the horse's future until he returns from his summer break.
Nicholls, writing in his Betfair column, reflects on the disappointments the yard suffered at Cheltenham last week, a meeting where "luck and fate weren't really with us".

CLARE BALDING on Monday insisted she is "not rushing into any decisions" amid speculation that Channel 4 will attempt to secure her services following its acquisition of the BBC's racing crown jewels.
Balding, the BBC's lead racing presenter since 1998, described herself as "desperately sad" after confirmation came that Channel 4 had secured a four-year deal that grants it exclusive terrestrial rights to British racing.
That news, first exclusively revealed in the Racing Post nine days ago, will bring an end to BBC Television's more-than-60-year association with the sport, whose partnership with Channel 4 is expected to accrue in the region of £15 million between 2013 and 2016.
