Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup Preview
It’s Gold Cup day and as the Cheltenham Festival betting markets intensify leading up to the hugely anticipated extravaganza, horse racing enthusiasts and punters alike are eagerly awaiting the big race with just hours to go till the starting pistol.
With 11 confirmed runners including last years winner inothewayurthinkin, we’ve put together a couple of names that we feel, here at BetVictor News, could be worth a Gold Cup bet on.
For those who aren’t clued up on the Gold Cup itself, it is the highlight of the National Hunt season, contested by the best of the best over three miles and two and a half furlongs, it requires smooth jumping, clean racing and an uphill sprint at the finish to secure the coveted main prize.
