Badminton Horse Trials Betting

Last year's winning combination of William Fox-Pitt and Tamarillo are VC Bet's 5/1 favourites defend their title at 2005 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials which climax on Sunday. "On last year's efforts they are most definitely the ones to beat and would certainly have claimed a medal at the Athens Olympics had their progress not been curtailed through injury midway through the event," said VC Bet's Dominique Hamblin. One of the world's premier equestrian showpieces, the three-day Gloucestershire event will see the world's elite compete in dressage on Friday, cross country on Saturday and show jumping on Sunday. Hamblin said she also expects to see Andrew Nicholson and Lord Killinghurst post a bold challenge for the 2005 crown. "Experience is vital to success at Badminton and they have plenty of that having finished second here last year and an excellent third at Burghley. "If they can maintain that sort of consistency they will surely go close." Last year's runners-up have been handed an 8/1 quote to go one better this time around. The firm's Equestrian compiler said that punters looking for some big each-way value could do worse than side with John Paul Sheffield and Exclusive Imp. "He's a very nice horse and all the recent vibes sound very good. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are in contention on Sunday." VC Bet will be updating their Badminton prices throughout the weekend. "There will be wall-to-wall coverage on BBC interactive throughout the weekend so there will be plenty of opportunity for punters to see how their fancies are getting on."
