Coral an ideal place for Cheltenham horse race betting

The clock is ticking for the start of the Cheltenham Festival, and reports have reached us that there is one casualty already. The five year old Hurricane Fly who was considered to be a likely horse race betting favourite in the Supreme Novice Hurdle is out, trainer Willie Mullins is determined to look at the longer term picture and to pull him out now in the hope that his future prospects will benefit. All is not lost for the Irish trainer as he still has hopes of a win with the powerful Cousin Vinny.

In anticipation of the Cheltenham Festival, Coral launch a special microsite which will have all the latest horse race betting odds, competitions and previews. Current favourite with Coral is Cousin Vinny with odds of 3/1, the 6 year old bay gelding has an impressive win record with 5 out of his 7 recent outings being successful, however he is not so good if the going is soft.

The Cheltenham Festival is one of the biggest meetings and second only to the Grand National in the prize money stakes. This prestigious four day event has been running since 1902 although originally it was a three day event. The first of the 25 races in the 2009 festival takes place at 1.30pm on Tuesday 10^th March, the final race is the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Steeple Chase at 5.15pm on Friday 13^th March.
