Friday 19th March 2010 Race Guide

Day four, and the last day for the 2010 Cheltenham Festival and things are really heating up…

It’s Cheltenham Gold Cup Day and one of the biggest battles in racing history is going to take place at 3.20 when Kauto Star and Denman go head to head in a bid to make horse racing history. Can Kauto Star win for the third time with Ruby Walsh or can Denman pip him to the post for the second time with Tony McCoy on board. One thing’s for sure, with both superstars coming from the Paul Nicholls stable today, there’s going to be one very happy man if they come in first and second place!

All of the horses running today are listed below and all of the odds have been supplied by Paddy Power Bookmakers but just remember that the odds on the Gold Cup are changing so fast and furiously that you’ve got to grab favourable odds very quickly – in fact Kauto Star is currently odds on…

The first race of the day is the JCB Triumph Hurdle which will attract a lot of attention but make no mistake, today is ALL about the CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP at 3.20pm!!!!
