2009 PRIX DE L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE BETTING TIPS

Spread betting on horses is one of the most exciting ways to experience the sport of Kings and Sporting Index, the world leaders in spread betting, will be a very big destination for the world's second richest race on turf. We all remember Zarkava winning the Arc last year, becoming the first filly to do so since 1993 when Urban Sea ran a hell of a race where she bested White Muzzle, among others. I expect the main markets that will be in play are, obviously, the outright market but I'm also quite confident that the winning distance market will be popular as well. The current forecast indicates good ground and this will be integral for Sea the Stars to pull off another massive victory. Sea the Stars generally doesn't win by large margins and I expect things to be very competitive in the half-length to one-and-one-half length range. This is where your win will come from, he's never won by more than 2.5 lengths and that was in the Irish Champion Stakes. At the moment, the big contenders are Sea the Stars who is listed at an odds-on price with most major bookmakers and his rival Fame and Glory comes in between 5/1 and 7/2 depending on where you're betting. Cavalryman s an interesting selection and is at around 10/1 with most bookies. Conduit is another classy performer. There's prices out there on Rip Van Winkle, who is a quality runner, and much will be expected of Youmzain, who could be a popular choice for those looking for a longshot winner. He's at 25/1 pretty much everywhere and could be able to just nip the victory, should conditions be in his favour. As we get closer to the Arc De Triomphe, Sporting Index will be providing some more odds and markets.
