Cheltenham Festival Betting
Cheltenham Festival 2008: Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th March 2008.
This year’s Cheltenham Festival is set to be huge, with over 200,000 spectators at the legendary horse racing meeting. The industry expects the country to wager well over £500m on the 25 races of the meeting alone.
On Friday, the biggest race of the entire Jump season is contested; the Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup. After a slight injury scare the favourite Kauto Star has been declared fit to race and is now around even money, whilst the second favourite, his stable mate Denman, is not far behind at 5/2. Some fancy the chances of the likes of Exotic Dancer and The Listener, but at this stage the bookies do not rate their chances.
