Cheltenham Festival Betting - Free Bet Guide

The Cheltenham Festival is the pinnacle of the National Hunt season and takes place in mid March each year. In 2005 the festival was extended to four days of Horse Racing Betting which added a further 6 races to the programme. The Festival has become so popular tickets are sold out well in advance both in the UK and in Ireland, who every year travel over the Irish Sea in their thousands for what has become an annual pilgrimage.

The Festival is held at the famous Prestbury Park racecourse on the edge of Cheltenham and has played host to some of National Hunts greatest ever Sports Betting moments. Down the years it has witnessed many great champions, such as Arkle, Mill House, Flyingbolt, Desert Orchid, Best Mate and now Kauto Star and stablemate Denman. Kauto Star is favourite for the 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup renewal which should he win he will join Arkle and Best Mate as a three time winner.

Other great races include the Champion Hurdle which takes place on the opening day, and which this year looks to be just about the most open it has ever been with any number in with chances. Favourite ahead of the race is the Noel Meade trained Go Native, with odds of 4/1.

Master Minded, winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase for the past two years will be looking to make that three this year, which if he manages to do it will make him one of Cheltenham’s great legends.

The Arkle Trophy Challenge is another of the main feature races, which brings together the top novice chasers and there is also the World Hurdle, which has Big Bucks as favourite to win the race for a second successive year.
