BINOCULAR SET FOR 2009 CHAMPION HURDLE VICTORY AT CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL

With the total amount matched on Betfair for the 2009 Champion Hurdle listed at nearly $2,000,000, you get the feeling that nearly all of it has been wagered on Binocular. This horse is considered to be one of the biggest locks at the entire festival and the odds (as opposed to Master Minded) are still well above evens, making this an absolutely outstanding value for your betting dollar.

A victory in the 2009 Champion Hurdle on March 10th at the Cheltenham Festival will be a massive leap forward for this horse, who has been really making a name for himself over the past few seasons. Four horses are expected to provide a challenge for Binocular, but the odds on them have been drifting higher every single day and you get the feeling that as the days go by, this race will be either won or lost by Binocular and Binocular alone. Celestial Halo (13.00), Crack Away Jack (14.00), Osana (13.5) and Katchit (16.00) are all expected to provide the competition and I think that only Celestial Halo or possibly Crack Away Jack have what it takes to make a significant impact here. Binocular is currently listed at a best price of 2.72. If you're betting the Cheltenham Festival you simply have to back Binocular in this race.
