Paddypower is reporting more than £6m has been staked on the Gold Cup including £20,000 on Kauto Star at 5-4, and a £5,000 on Denman at 5-1.
With the Gold Cup just over two weeks away, bookmakers estimate that £20m will be bet on the Denman and Kauto Star. Paddy Power, the company spokesman, said:
“This is the horse race duel of the decade, like a Las Vegas title fight showdown between two of the great contenders. We cannot remember such excitement surrounding one race for years and everyone has been getting on early to get the best prices. The big spend always comes closer to the race so we wouldn't be surprised if there was more than £20m riding on this one race.”
