Cheltenham Festival, the biggest event of the UK horse racing season, will start in just under two weeks. Every year the Cheltenham Gold Cup is the highlight of the Cheltenham festival with all the runners hoping to win the number one race of the UK National Hunt season.
Last year’s winner Kauto Star is now considered the favourite with 11/10 chance for victory, following his victory in the King George and his good performance in the Ascot First Commercial Chase in February.
However, his Stablemate Denman, the only other real contender after his victories in the Hennessy, Lexus Chase in Ireland and the Aon Chase at Newbury, is believed to be able to beat Kauto Star in the big race on Friday week. Denman won 12 of his 13 races and the odds for him winning the Gold Cup are 11-8. His jockey, Sam Thomas, hopes the Gold Cup will be Denman’s best performance ever.
