Cheltenham Festival – Imperial Commander for the Gold Cup?!

The biggest Horse Racing event in the sporting Calendar is almost upon us and as excitement mounts, Unibet have a host of markets to bet on, covering every race from the festival!

The Gold Cup on 18th March is the jewel in Cheltenham’s crown. It is quite simply an unmissable event and with three former winners lining up against a generation of new stars it promises to be an intriguing race . Despite not having raced since November 2010 Champion Imperial Commander is favourite at Unibet, priced at 5.00 (4/1) to defend his title.

Imperial Commander rode gloriously to victory last year with his two biggest rivals, Kauto Star falling 4 fences from home and Denman finishing as runner up. As a two time winner Kauto Star knows this course inside out and at odds of 7.50 is a serious contender. In 2008, Denman was victorious producing arguably one of the greatest Gold Cup races of all time and defeating Kauto Star. Unibet are 7.50 on Denman for him to add to his 2008 success.

‘The tension is really building for this year’s Cheltenham with so much talent crammed into 4 days of racing.’ Says Erik Backlund Head of Unibet’s Sportsbook.

‘On the opening Tuesday it is one of the punter’s favourite events, the Champion Hurdle and we have Binocular at odds of 3.00 (2/1) to defend his title with AP McCoy on board. We then have Master Minded at 3.25 for the Queen Mother’s Champion Chase and Big Bucks as our red hot 2.00 (Evens) favourite to win the World Hurdle!’

‘Big Bucks is competing for his third World Hurdle title, a feat that he looks very capable of given that last time he hardly came off the bridle!’
