‘If you backed him, you’ll win’ – The Cheltenham Festival ante-post horses bookies fear the most
Share:
TERRIFIED bookies are counting the cost of Cheltenham Festival - with the layers certain one horse has already won. Sir Gino looked an absolute machine when disposing of the awesome Ballyburn with ease at Kempton on Boxing Day. And, having been backed at as big as 8-1 for the Arkle, punters who took the price look like they're onto a big value winner.

Bet Victor's Sam Boswell said: "It feels like his backers are likely to collect come the Tuesday of the Festival.".
The superstar novice chaser - who won the Fighting Fifth Hurdle when stepping in for stablemate Constitution Hill - is one of their five biggest losers in the book. He has been hammered into as short as 8-11 for the Arkle - while his stablemate is another giving bookies sleepless nights.
The Christmas Hurdle was built up as the big showdown behind former Champion Hurdle king Constitution Hill and pretender to the throne, Lossiemouth. But Willie Mullins' mare failed to fire and Constitution Hill showed he can still mix it in the top flight with an easy win.
