Imperial Commander 2009 Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Tips

Imperial Commander is another first-rate Irish-based jumps horse coming out of the Twiston-Davies system and bred by Laurence J. Flynn. The most recent victory came at the Paddy Power Gold Cup Chase where Imperial Commander outran the much-favoured Barbers Shop to secure the coveted title for another year. Imperial Commander boasts a lifetime record of 6 wins from 11 starts with one third place finish. During the autumn of 2007, Imperial Commander was in pristine form winning both the Steel Plate and Sections Novices Chase and the Lady Angela Rooker Memorial Beginners chase within the span of three weeks. IMPERIAL COMMANDER BETTING TIPSImperial Commander is a surprising horse that can venture out of the middle of the pack to finish extremely strong. Having been disappointed in the King George after putting in an extremely solid performance, many people will be thinking Imperial Commander is due for a Grade 1 victory in the next few months and it is still up in the air whether that is to come at Cheltenham or not. Tony Evans and Imperial Commander have formed an epic partnership with Evans piloting in 3 out of 6 career victories. I would say that Imperial Commander is in with a shout should Evans be on top going into the 2009 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
