Already being billed as the race of the century, the Kauto Star v Denman showdown, currently being planned for the Cheltenham Gold Cup has already fuelled the imagination of the Bookmakers with all kinds of markets already being established and already taking big money.
As it stands currently reigning there is nothing to choose between them in the Gold Cup betting market. They both have a best price of 9/4, Kauto with VC Bet and Denman with Boylesports
There is as much interest in who will what ride horse in the race with Paddy Power in no doubt that Ruby Walsh will ride Kauto Star and they have him at 2/9 to do so. Sam Thomas who rode Denman to his 2008 Gold Cup success is odds on favourite to get the ride again.
There have been plenty of market murmurings suggesting that AP McCoy, the Champion jockey will be asked to take the ride in the same way as he took over on Master Minded for the 2008 Tingle Creek last season. Thomas is 2/3 while McCoy is a very tempting 8/1 both with Paddy Power.

Leading Irish bookmakers Boylesports have also created a very worthwhile Forecast market in which they offer 7/4 for Kauto and Denman to finish first and second in any order, a result of course that has happened for the last two years. They also offer 4/1 - Kauto Star 1st with Denman 2nd and 5/1 - Denman 1st with Kauto 2nd.
Denman's incredible victory in the Hennessy Gold Cup is responsible for triggering the huge amount of excitement surrounding the two horses. They have each beaten each other into second place in the Gold Cup, with Denman winning in 2008 and Kauto in 2009. Kauto Star, it should also be remembered also won the 2007 Gold Cup.
Denman spent last season recovering for a cardiac setback, he ran a few lacklustre races only performing near to his best when going down to Kauto in the Gold Cup. However after the way he carried a huge weight around Newbury in the Hennessy it certainly looks to be right back where he was 18 months ago.
