The Grade 1 Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup, is the pinnacle of National Hunt racing and one of the biggest betting events of the whole sporting calendar. The Gold Cup is the main event at the Cheltenham Festival and marks the culmination of up to a year of ante-post betting on the event.
The greatest racing names have won the Gold Cup including Henrietta Knight's Best Mate who won three times. Paul Nicholls won with Kauto Star in 2007
When you are betting on the gold cup you should look at 7-10 year old horses and avoid long odds outsiders. When considering the form remember that the course is tough and the horse you select should have proven ability to stay three-and-a-quarter miles and particularly the end up-hill run.
