2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup Ante Post Betting Tips Part 2

Sunday, December 30, 2012 - 17:45

The shortest price you’ll find on Bobs worth is a 5/2 listing with most bookmakers pricing him in the neighbourhood of 3/1. William Hill has recently trimmed him to 11/4 in their gold cup ante post market. 

 

Willy Mullins knows a thing or two about big wins at Cheltenham and he’s going to be bringing Sir Des Champs into the mix for this year’s de facto chasing championship. Though he hasn’t won yet in either of his efforts this year, he has put in some solid shifts - particularly in his last race at Leopardstown.

2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup Ante Post Betting Tips Part 1

Despite Long Run producing a smashing performance to win back the King George and etch his name onto one of steeplechasing’s most prestigious lists (previous winners who have regained the King George trophy). After dueling with Captain Chris down the stretch at Kempton with both contenders looking likely to win it at various points on the run-in, it was Long Run (piloted ably by Sam Waley-Cohen) who managed to find more and make up an additional half-length to just get his head down at the right time.

Long Run Headlines The King George Part 3

 It’s worth noting that he also finished second to Sizing Europe last December and, up until Thursday, Sizing was pointed towards this race. He has the claims and the credibility and it’s just a matter of how much he’s moved forward between 5 and 6 - along with just how well he can handle the added distance.

Kauto Stone is a horse who is comfortable at the highest level, though he has run inconsistently in the past. Which Kauto Stone shows up will likely be the major factor in this race.

Long Run Headlines The King George Part 2

A.J. Ryder
Tuesday, December 25, 2012 - 18:07

It is not so much Long Run that really intrigues in this race as it is more about the cadre of talented up-and-coming chasers who are in the 5/1-10/1 range - many of them look ripe for a serious breakout here and this could be just the race to do it. Long Run must get it exactly right and, with results not really going his way that often, his short prices and piles of support from punters who’ve napped him for months may start to dry up. For many, this may be his final chance to be that genuine superstar that everybody seems to think he really is.

Long Run Headlines The King George Part 1

Long Run is looking to etch his name into the annals of National Hunt racing with a returning victory in the King George stakes at Kempton tomorrow. The emerging superstar of the jumps racing scene has not been at his most consistent over the past year or so after vaulting to prominence by capturing this race over the beloved Kauto Star two years ago.

2012 Long Walk Hurdle Betting Tips and Preview Part 2

Prospect Wells put in a very good shift against the talented Zarkandar in his seasonal debut at Wincanton, finishing second in a Grade 2 contest 1/4 of a length behind Zarkandar. He’s moved forward nicely since finishing fifth in the Supreme Novices’ last year. He was sent off at 14/1 on the day and looked good without ever having quite got there.

Smad Place has been out only once this year and it was a disappointing run as he finished 3rd despite being sent off at 10/11. Tidal Bay romped home that day and scored by a 4.5 length margin. Smad Place cantered home 25 lengths off the pace. He likely needed the prep race and...

Monday, December 10, 2012 - 16:24

As the Christmas National Hunt fixtures approach we’re starting to see some real movement in the ante post market for the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. There’s a lot to like about this race and it’s one of the most open iterations of it we’ve seen in years now that King Kauto looms over the race in statue form only.

Look for Long Run to see his price clipped just a bit as the true believers come out of the woodwork following positive comments from connections. Apparently he worked over the weekend on the gallops and the word was “full steam ahead” to Kempton.
