The 2012 Cheltenham Festival is fast approaching and Kauto Star is a 4/1 chance to win the Gold Cup after beating Long Run in the King George VI Chase
David Williams of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "We've endured some ugly Boxing Day results in recent years but this has been a bloodbath. It was one favourite after another as the results rolled in. By the time Kauto Star and Long Run lined up we were on the ropes. Kauto Star has a unique following in racing and he lifted the Kempton roof to deliver a knock-blow on a historic day for racing and punters."
KAUTO STAR now 4/1 second favourite for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. LONG RUN eased to 3/1 favourite with GRANDS CRUS 8/1 (nrnb) for the race
GRANDS CRUS also 6/4 favourite for the RSA Chase after winning the Feltham at Kempton
