I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- bet365 offering a Gold Cup Super Boost on Gaelic Warrior to finish Top 5.
- Price enhanced from 3/10 to Evens ahead of the 4pm race.
- bet365 also running a £250,000 jackpot 6 Horses Challenge on Day 4.
bet365 Launch Gold Cup Super Boost
Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup Day has arrived and bookmakers are offering a range of promotions to mark the biggest race of the week.
Among the standout offers is a bet365 Super Boost on Gold Cup favourite Gaelic Warrior, with the price enhanced from 3/10 to Evens for the horse to finish in the Top 5 in the 4pm race.
The boosted price significantly increases the potential return on one of the most widely backed runners in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Gold Cup Favourite in the Spotlight
The boosted selection focuses on Gaelic Warrior, one of the leading contenders for this year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup.
| Market | Standard Odds | Boosted Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Gaelic Warrior Top 5 Finish | 3/10 | Evens |
The Top 5 finish market gives punters an additional cushion compared to backing the horse outright, meaning Gaelic Warrior only needs to finish inside the first five runners to land the bet.
bet365’s £250,000 Cheltenham Challenge
Alongside the Super Boost, bet365 are also running their 6 Horses Challenge, offering a £250,000 jackpot on the final day of the Festival.
Players must correctly predict six winning horses across the day’s races to land the top prize.
The promotion also includes consolation prizes:
| Correct Picks | Prize Pool |
|---|---|
| 6 winners | £250,000 jackpot |
| 5 winners | £25,000 prize pool |
| 4 winners | £25,000 prize pool |
Despite several close attempts during the week, the jackpot has yet to be won.
Earlier in the week 82 players came within one winner of the £100,000 jackpot on Tuesday, while Wednesday proved more difficult with only 43 players correctly predicting four winners.
More than £55,000 in consolation prizes has already been paid out during the Festival.
Latest Insights from bet365 Racing Expert
bet365’s racing expert Pat Cooney has also shared his views on today’s Cheltenham card.
Heavy overnight rain has altered the expected conditions at the course.
“After heavy overnight rain, we can expect soft ground today.”
According to Cooney, the going change has influenced the betting markets for the Gold Cup.
“The going change has seen a real move for Haiti Couleurs in the Gold Cup (4pm). He has winning form and proven stamina, qualities that are going to be needed today.”
Several other runners across the card have also attracted support.
- Sinnatra (2pm) – backed overnight for the Skelton team in the County Hurdle.
- The Passing Wife (3:20pm) – attracting interest among pundits on course.
- Kel Histoire (5:20pm) – one of the most tipped runners in the final race of the day.
