The Cheltenham Gold Cup takes place on the fourth and final day of the Cheltenham Festival. The Gold Cup is the pinnacle of the Jumps calendar and those who are victorious usually are very special and go down in folklore in Horse Racing history.
There are many who have reached such heights but only a few who have gone on to win the gold cup not just once but a number of times they include the great Arkle, Golden Miller and Best Mate. Kauto Star has already won twice, in 2007 and 2009, but he fell in 2010 to allow Imperial Commander to take glory in a thriller. 2011 lived up to expectations as the young Long Run justified ante-post favouritism to beat the old guard of Denman, Kauto Star and Imperial Commander in another thriller.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup ante post bets market is one of the biggest betting races in the entire calendar and many punters like to get on early and we recommend that they do so as often the best prices are those in the ante-post market.

| 2011 | Long Run | 6 | Nicky Henderson |
Nicky Henderson's Long Run won one of the great Gold Cup renewals as the King George winner and ante-post favourite beat his elder more experienced Gold Cup rivals. Old timers and former champions Kauto Star and Denman were battling it out at the last before Long Run accelerated and pulled away from the Paul Nicholls pair to storm to victory and could well be around for years to come. Last year's champion Imperial Commander was in the mix but fell away and was later found to be lame.

Paul Nicholls trained the big two for the 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup, which is the highlight of the Cheltenham Festival in March, but Denman and Kauto Star were upset by Nigel Twiston-Davies' Imperial Commander who stormed to victory as Kauto Star fell.
