Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup

The feature race of the whole season is the Cheltenham Gold Cup and takes place on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival which is now on the Friday. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is run over the three mile 2 furlong course with the big uphill finish.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup betting is a year long session as straight after the finish of this great race the bookmakers usually mark up the winner as the next years favourite and throughout the year the Cheltenham Gold Cup ante post betting ebbs and flows according to how the principles perform during the year.

For 2010 the race will once again focus on the classic rivalry between Denman and Kauto Star for the Paul Nicholls yard, both have been in outstanding form this season with Kauto the slight favourite at this stage. Denman is the 2008 Gold Cup winner and Kauto has won the big race in 2007 and 2009 and will be going for number three this year.
