While Exotic Dancer may not have the ability to top every single major jumps horse in the country, he is definitely a skilled horse who will put up a fight in every single race he enters. EXOTIC DANCER BETTING TIPSIf you're backing Exotic Dancer in the 2009 Cheltenham Gold Cup then there's a few things that you need to take into immediate consideration. The odds on an outright win will probably be pretty long and that's because Exotic Dancer certainly isn't a favourite to take the Gold Cup. This horse can dominate, but against the likes of Kauto Star and Denman, I can't see Exotic Dancer doing much better than third. However, triactor, trifecta and superfecta bets will invariably need to involve Exotic Dancer. The odds you're going to get, combined with his excellent ratio of finishing in the top 3 make this a particularly enticing horse if you're looking for some combinations and permutations in your wagering. Backing Exotic Dancer to win outright doesn't make a great deal of sense, but an each-way bet may be worth a go. This horse is steady through the opening stages, but generally looks to carve out a lead around the middle of the race. If Exotic Dancer isn't ahead by the middle hurdle, Exotic Dancer will not win.
