What to bet on at Cheltenham
Day one of Cheltenham 2024 is now in the record books, and it is the horse racing betting sites that are left licking their wounds. The Willie Mullins juggernaut rolled in to town to dominate the big races and the leading Cheltenham trainer is likely to do the same on day two.
El Fabiolo had been a short-priced favourite in the Cheltenham odds for the Champion Chase and his chances have been made easier by the withdrawal of his main rival, Jonbon. In what is another blow for trainer Nicky Henderson and a beleaguered British team, he has had to withdraw some of his horses due to illness in his yard.
Back to Willie Mullins, and the master trainer is also responsible for another Irish 'banker' in the form of Ballyburn. The talking horse in the lead-up to Cheltenham, he is another short-priced favourite with the best horse racing betting apps to win the opening race of day two, the Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle.
Fact To File is another jolly hailing from the Mullins yard. Having enjoyed three winners on day one, the Irishman is likely to achieve the same today, with Fact To File being another odds-on chance for him in the Brown Advisory Novices Chase. A treble on Mullins' trio of 'sure things' is likely to be popular with punters, particularly those using the host of Cheltenham free bets on offer.
Gordon Elliott drew a blank on the opening day of Cheltenham 2024 but the Irish trainer is responsible for one gambling site favourite on day two, with Jalon D'oudairies fancied to win the Champion Bumper. Delta Work had also been favourite to win the Cross Country Chase but that race has now been cancelled due to ground conditions.
Meanwhile, the only British-trained favourite with new betting sites of the day is Libberty Hunter in the Gran Annual Chase. Just one British horse was victorious on the opening day, leaving the home side trailing by five winners to the Irish raiders in the Prestbury Cup.
