Cheltenham Festival 2009 - Betting Preview - Gold Cup
One of the events of the year as far as Horse racing fanatics go. Tuesday 10th March will certainly be a date many punters will have circled when the official racing calendar was released. We're sure that many are still eagerly ticking off the days until the day arrives but there isn't long to go now and even us loyal football fans are even getting excited about this years meeting.
This has always been a meeting that prides itself on the unpredictability of it's races and none more so then the main event itself, The Cheltenham Gold Cup. This seasons main event looks as tricky as ever to predict but we will do our best to highlight a few potential winners along with some eye-catching horses that you certainly don't want to miss.
The meeting will last four days and kicks off in the middle of March. With Millions of pounds being bet over the course of the meeting, there will certainly be a few surprises and possibly some big price winners. There are several short price favourites the bookies are hoping will not pass the finish line first but we fancy a few of their chances with Master Minded catching our eye the most.
Cheltenham Gold Cup - Friday March 13th
We will start with the Gold Cup and what a line up we have. Favouritism has gone with two time winner Kauto Star and he looks a justified short price favourite. The Nine-year old has already been there and got the t-shirt as far as this race is concerned but the Paul Nicholls trained horse is gunning for the hat-trick and he has solid claims to make it three on the bounce. Ruby Walsh is set to ride aboard Kauto Star who has only ever finished out of the places on just two occasions. His most recent outing showed all the doubters who's boss as he strolled to victory to win his third King George crown. He became just the third horse in the history of the sport to win the King George on three seperate occasions and merits a lot of respect for the Gold Cup.
There are a few dangers for Kauto Star but it would be major surprise if Paul Nicholls didn't win this race as he has six horses involved in this prestigious race. Both Neptunes Collonges and Denman will be highly fancied in the market and are both in the Nicholls stable. We have however managed to find a horse that does have a huge chance of causing an upset and that is David Pipe's gelding Madison Du Berlais. The horse looked very impressive in his most recent outing winning the Levy Board Chase at Kempton back in February defying the odds by beating the odds on favourite Denman, in a comfortable manner. At around 8/1 with Paddypower, he looks the value of the race.
