The Cheltenham Festival races are always a sight to behold. Even though the Cheltenham Gold Cup is the blue riband event of the meeting - there are ten other Grade 1 races over the four day Festival to enjoy and bet on. Backing the right horse to bet on is not an exact science but looking at horse history can help guide you in the best direction when you are preparing to place your bet on any Cheltenham race.

Winners of the big races at the Cheltenham Festival often have a good track record around the Gloucestershire course. This is sound information that may well be a good insight into where there is money to be made on the Betfair exchanges.

Cheltenham racecourse is one that needs to be respected and thought about when placing your bets. The steep incline up the final straight to the finishing post is one that will beat all those horses who lack stamina

The Gold Cup though is the one that will attract the most attention from the national media. The rivalry between Kauto Star and Denman may even make the front pages in Cheltenham Festival week. It is one of those races that is whetting the appetite of not just horse racing fans but of sports fans and the general public.
