Queen Mother Champion Chase Betting

The Queen Mother Champion Chase is the most prestigious two mile chase in National Hunt racing and is the highlight of racing on Day 2 of the annual Cheltenham Festival. It is open to horses aged five years or older and has an awesome roll of honour of past winners. Horses who win this race have to have a top class combination of galloping pace and jumping skills and have enough staying power to see them home up the famous Cheltenham Hill.

2012 Queen Mother Champion Chase Betting

The Paul Nicholls trained, Master Minded won the race for the two years running in 2008 and 2009, and was favourite for the 2010 renewal but Big Zen knocked him off his perch to claim his maiden Queen Mother Champion chase crown. 

Some of those past winners of the race include Flyingbolt in 1966, the heroic Crisp, won the race in 1971, two years before that unforgettable 1973 Grand National where he narrowly failed to hold off the challenge of Red Rum. More recent winners include Moscow Flyer, who won twice in 2003 and 2005 and the David Nicholson trained, Viking Flagship who won the race in 1994 and 1995.

2011 Champion Chase Result

Sizing Europe romped home in the 2011 renewal of the Champion Chase after starting the race as an outside 10/1 punt, with most expecting a battle between Big Zeb and Master Minded. He beat Big Zeb by five lengths, with Captain Cee Bee and Golden Silver next up to make it an Irish 1-2-3-4. Ante-post favourite Master Minded disappointed with a mistake at the second and never recovered.
