National Hunt Steeplechase Betting

There are several unique and challenging races during the Cheltenham Festival, and one of them is the National Hunt Steeplechase. It is a race run by novice chasers of 5 years and older; bear in mind that only amateur jockeys are allowed to ride the horses competing in this race, which makes the race even more interesting to watch. Betting on Cheltenham and picking the best horses to win the National Hunt Steeplechase can be quite tricky especially because the race is unique and highly unpredictable.

Several top contenders in this year’s National Hunt include Any Currency, Massasoit, Synchronised, Apt Approach, and Pandorama. Several other horses are also showing superb chances of winning the race — Poker De Sivola and Becauseicouldntsee included – so there may still be surprises along the way. If you are interested in placing bets, extra calculations are necessary to make sure you are taking the right pick.

The odds are looking pretty good as well. Any Currency is enjoying a cool 7, which means you can take home a total amount of £700 by placing £100 of wager; that’s a total profit of £600 for this race alone. The odds are even better for Synchronised and Pandorama; they are listed with odds of 10.

Based on the history of National Hunt, you should watch out for British horses; with a record of winning 13 out of 16 races, British horses are the most potential candidate for winning the National Hunt indeed. On the other hand, favorites don’t really hold a record that good, winning only one race during the last 16 runs. Also look for horses finishing in the top two last year, since they have the most chances of winning this year’s National Hunt Steeplechase; they are perfect for betting, especially if you implement advanced techniques such as dutching.
