Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide
The 2009 Cheltenham Festival will be remembered for two names, firstly Kauto Star, who came back to regain his title from 2008 winner, Denman who came home second. Kauto Star is the first ever horse in Gold Cup history to win the Gold Cup for a second time but not in consecutive years. His rider Ruby Walsh is the other name that will be on everyones lips after he rode a total of 7 winners at the festival which is an all time record, even for the fact that we now have 26 races.
You can still view the full Cheltenham Results for every race from the 2009 meeting.
Attention can now turn to the 2010 Cheltenham Festival which will be staged between March 16th and 19th 2010.
The 2010 Cheltenham Festival will really start as soon as the new National Hunt season gets underway in the Autumn. This year as always there is so much to look forward to as each day the festival will draw nearer as the evenings close in on us.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup will as usual be the race on most peoples minds and we all hope that Denman can get back to his best and put up a real challange to Kauto Star. In the Champion Hurdle we think Hurrican Fly will emerge as the number one hurdler in the country, especially after his fantastic display at the Punchestown Festival. Dunguib is one horse that we all can get excited about after his unbeaten record in Bumpers last year and the supreme novices becons.
As usuall we will have all the Cheltenham Festival odds for all the races on our odds comparison service and we will have these available once all the bookmakers open there markets for the races. We know from feedback that you appreciated the Cheltenham Tipping service from our resident tipster Tom Lee of Channel 4 and RTE racing. He will be trying to get all the news doing the circuit in his persuit to offer you some tips for the 4 days of the festival.
