With Cheltenham now around six weeks away and all the horses and trainers now in full swing gearing up to the biggest Jumping festival on the racing calendar Ladbrokes have now opened books on all of the races at the meeting and further throughout the year I would like to give a few pointers on a few of the big races too come in 2009.
Cheltenham Gold Cup
With top British trainer Paul Nicholls once again due to send his bog boys for this race in Denman and Kauto Star expect the race to go to one of these machines who have both won the Gold Cup in the last two years. Denman has been made 7/4 favourite for the big race with his counterpart being quoted at 5/2 2nd fav and in Gold Cup tradition the winner very rarely comes from outside the top 2 in the betting. For punters that love the higher priced horse I think Barbers shops 20/1 is very high considering the form the horse has been in so far this season.
Ladbrokes World Hurdle
Another of the big races at Cheltenham also has some eye catching prices already available and favourite backers should get on the 2/1 being offered on the inform Punchestowns because if the horse shows anything what it is capable of then he should take this race with ease. Blazing Bailey is another horse that has caught my eye so far this season and with him at 10/1 I think this is too good to turn down and I am going to have him with the favourite in a reverse forecast.
For more of the years upcoming big horse races all around the world then Ladbrokes is the place to check current prices.
