This year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup will be a spectacular one for sure, with top contenders for the title of champion creating buzzes since months before the actual event. The highlight? Denman vs. Kauto Star! These two horses have been competing against each other since the 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup. The current score is 1-1 after Kauto Star took last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, so this year’s race will be a tie breaker you wouldn’t want to miss.
Kauto Star is considered to be the better contender this year, especially after his superb performance in the King George and amazing runs throughout the season. This horse is exceptional indeed, showing steady performances that are simply unrivaled. Several races has been won so far, and the Cheltenham Gold Cup will make the series of victories complete.
Denman is a bit moody this year. His run in the Aon Chase – with professional jockey Tony McCoy thrown off in the middle of the chase – was not good at all. However, Cheltenham Gold Cup is a completely different race and it would be interesting to see just how well Denman will perform. There is no doubt that this will be an important race for Denman, especially because the stakes are pretty high.
No matter who will win the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the race will be an enjoyable one for sure. Other contenders including the Imperial Commander will certainly be running towards the title of champion as well, so the competition between Denman and Kauto Star will not be the only attractions to enjoy. With the right twists, this year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup can prove to be an unforgettable one in the end. Be sure to witness this grand race of the year or you will be missing a lot of unforgettable stories that will be talked about for years.
