What are the Odds for the Cheltenham Gold Cup
It is that time again for horse racing fans in England and the biggest event of the season is about to get started. Once again Kauto Star will be going head to head with Danman, with a wild victory and the score set at 1-1 for these two horses, it seems no one can say who will win this time. As it stands, Kauto Star’s odds seem to be in the lead with his extravagant win at the King George on Boxing day as well as winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup last year in a record breaking race in which the championship was taken back for the first time after having been defeated the year before. Denman has also shown recent winnings at the Hennessy Gold Cup in November, but that is feeling an awfully long time ago and his odds have been lowered a bit because of it.
The next in line for best bets look like Imperial Commander who has done well lately, as well as Cooldine. Although Carruthers has been doing great this year it looks like Tricky Trickster and What a Friend have the next best chances based on their recent racing history. From there it is all downhill as some of the best contestants from previous years will not be joining in this year. At least one of them has gone on to bigger and better things though, so there are no worries here. If you want to bet on an underdog, take a look at Madison Du Berlais, Albertas Run Calgray Bay, and Casey Jones who are all at odds below 100 and still look like there is a chance one of them could come in higher than expected. While most of the others aren’t really worth a look, the rest of the line up looks like My Will who is running with the odds of 100 along with Mon Mome, and Aran Concerto. Mr.Pointment and Cerium run at the bottom of the list with odds of 200 and 250 respectfully.

There’s so much value in backing Denman it’s crazy, if you ask me. He’s a brilliant horse and just one mistake has made people go off him. Crazy. Pile on him now!
