Kauto Star vs Denman

[Scott-RFC 308]

THe climax of the Cheltenham festival arrives at 3.20 today.

Kauto Star is currently 8/11, Denman 5/1.

Who we going for?

Personally Im favouring Kauto Star, he is a phenominal horse

[Creampuff 22,628]

I wouldn't rule out another horse.

The way this Cheltenham's been going, I'd be tempted to stick on an E/W on Imperial Commander (8/1 with most firms).

I'll be considering a RFC with IC and Denman.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Fuck it.

1st: Imperial Commander.

2nd: Denman.

3rd: Kauto Star.

[StayWestFree 107]

Denham with Rock Noir e/w in the 2:05 and Westlin Winds e/w in the 1:30.

I'm doing this as nothing has worked for me this week.

[mcpherson888 0]

Kauto Star is a certainty.

[TunnyLoyal 1,136]

Denman for me.

[FlippinEck 3,705]

I was thinking denman but im gonna go eachway on imperial commander, got a free £2 bet in WH and put it on mon mone but the odds were slashed from 150/1 to 66/1

[FlippinEck 3,705]

Has anyone seen WH's special without Kauto and Denman?

[Scott-RFC 308]

Win

Single: Kauto Star @ 8/11

1 line at £25.00 per line

Total stake for this bet: £25.00

Potential returns: £43.18

[Henders82 537]

Gotta be Kauto, just a phenomonal horse and am not sure whether to take denman or imperial for second, will be tight i think!!

[FlippinEck 3,705]

Kauto is fucked

[mcpherson888 0]

Imperial Commander?

[Creampuff 22,628]

Told you all to back it..

[papaguy51 912]

Yup.

Bah, had Denman.

[FlippinEck 3,705]

I stuck a fiver each way on Imperial Commander

It came up lost on my result and I was bricking it but its coming up won now

[Creampuff 22,628]

Don't know what was happening aboard Kauto..

This is where the cynic in me says "horse racing is fixed".

[FlippinEck 3,705]

£56.88 for tenner bet, not bad I guess!

Bookies wont be having that much of a laugh thougg? Most I saw were giving you your bet back if your horse fell

A few were only doing that for a few races on Tuesday.

Not sure though.

Either way, a lot of people backed Denman, and even refunded stakes on Kauto will be better than the beating they expected

[Creampuff 22,628]

Wasn't actually sure what bets I had.

£4.00 E/W on Imperial Commander came up.

£1.00 Forecast on Imperial Commander - Denman came up.

£2.00 E/W on Denman came up.

A few tricasts didn't come up due to Kauto falling, and a few bets on the outsiders.

[TannochsideBear 355]

I see the poll is still open on this, so I can now look really clever by voting "OTHER"

I didn't back anything, but I was reading the coverage on BBC website on my phone and 10 minutes before the race went off they carried quotes from the trainer of IC stating that the horse was in great shape, should have beaten Kauto last time out, and he was backing it strongly to win, and couldnt believe the odds he was getting.

I was sitting there thinking that it is very rare for a trainer to be so positive about his horse's chances just before the race, normally they are confident but guarded, and if it wasn't for the fact I was with my wife going to an appointment I would have been tempted to get to a bookies and back it.
