2009 QUEEN MOTHER CHAMPION CHASE LOCKED UP FOR MASTER-MINDED

If you're looking to do some betting on day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival, one of the biggest races of the day is the 2009 Queen Mother Champion Chase. It had been rumoured for quite some time that Voy Por Ustedes was being considered as a runner in this one and it is looking distinctly more likely that he will run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup instead.

Listed at 1.4 (which is better than the 1.33 I saw earlier today) you aren't going to be making a huge amount unless you bet big, but betting big on Master Minded is wholeheartedly encouraged. I think the conditions on the course that day should favour him even more and I expect his price to drift downwards as we get closer to the race. At this point in time, Big Zeb is the real outside bet at 15.5 and will definitely be included in a number of different forecast and tricast bets. I would also keep my eyes on Tidal Bay, who has proven that he knows how to win a race. In the Champion Chase TBP market, you'll find Master Minded at even shorter odds at 1.22 with Big Zeb coming in at 2.94, Well Chief and Petit Robin listed at 3.4. Twist Magic is 3.8 while Tidal Bay comes in at an even 4.00. Either way you slice it, the 2009 Queen Mother Champion Chase is going to be an epic race and an epic victory for Master Minded and I suggest getting in there now before the price drops.
