Cheltenham Festival Betting
The Festival at Cheltenham is perhaps the most incredible jump racing carnival to be hosted in the United Kingdom. Featuring only the finest jumpers, this competition is truly the pinnacle of equine sports when it comes to national hunt racing. Considering it has some of the most enticing race cards you are liable to come across during the season, it is no surprise that the Cheltenham Festival attracts humungous crowds and is a highlight with seasoned punters as well as first time bettors.

19 Dec 2011: Diamond Harry Tackles 2011 King George VI Chase
Owner Paul Duffy is thrilled to have fierce competition for his talented jumper Diamond Harry in the 2011 William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton Racecourse on Boxing Day.
Diamond Harry is in the midst of a campaign that Duffy is hopeful will culminate in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The owner’s only query going into the King George VI Chase on December 26, 2011, is the way of going.
“The question is will he go right-handed round Kempton as he’s always gone left-handed before,” said Duffy.
“That’s not because we’ve avoided going the other way round. That’s the way it’s turned out.
“We don’t know the answer. He jumps straight enough, but he might prefer a galloping track like Haydock and Newbury. Kempton’s a tighter track.”
Duffy is hoping the track will have a bit of give come Saturday’s King George VI Chase.
“He’d obviously like the ground to be soft. If it is, it would suit him. The ground might be good to soft, I’d expect, but we don’t know,” he said.
“Ultimately if he gets placed behind horses like Kauto Star, Master Minded and Long Run, and if he finishes close up to them, then you’d say he’s run well.”
The owner said he was extremely grateful to have a horse as talented as Diamond harry.
“It’s a dream having a horse good enough to run in races like this. Anything he does is a bonus because we are still aiming at the Gold Cup,” Duffy said.
“We still hope to go for that, but we’re taking one race at a time for our old friend and let’s just hope he gets around safely and does himself justice.”

If you are planning to bet on the Cheltenham Festival, you can choose from three main ways of placing a bet.
You can travel to Cheltenham Racecourse during the festival, catch the races live and have a flutter at the betting facilities on location. This puts you right into the heart of the excitement - but it does involve travel, an admission fee and standing in line for quite a portion of your valuable race time.
If you cannot make it to the track itself, you could check out the bookmaking outlets in your neighbourhood. Bookmaking franchises have shops and kiosks where you can easily place a bet on any race of the day. While this can be more convenient than visiting the race personally, the outlets are still subject to opening and closing times and offer limited antepost options.
However, there is a third and more convenient way to bet on the horse races: online bookmakers. Almost every big bookmaking franchise allows customers to bet from an easy to use and always accessible internet bookmaking portal. Online betting allows you to place your wager at any time from anywhere, and it also awards great perks like betting specials, welcome bonuses, frequent betting promotions only available to members of the online bookmaker and - best of all - a vast array of very early antepost odds for big international races and most races hosted in the United Kingdom.
Internet betting is startlingly easy. Simply check out our recommended bookmakers and choose the one that best suits your needs. Signing up and creating an account takes only minutes and is absolutely free. As a member with an internet bookmaking agency you will never have to worry about travel, closing time or getting the best odds available ever again.
Whichever option you choose, Horse Racing UK wishes you a great time at the Cheltenham Festival and best of luck on your selections.
