Ireland are now 1/250 to win the Prestbury Cup
The Cheltenham Festival continues on Wednesday and Ireland are as short as 1/250 with bookmakers to win the Prestbury Cup this week.
The Prestbury Cup is the annual challenge between Great Britain and Ireland for Festival winners across the 28 total races at The Festival.
Day One of Cheltenham saw Ireland take a commanding 5-2 lead and this instantly saw Boylesports slash their price to just 1/250 to win the trophy.
| 2023 Prestbury Cup Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ireland | 1/250 | 99.6% |
| Great Britain | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Tie | 33/1 | 2.9% |
According to the latest betting odds there's a 99% chance that Ireland win the award with a comeback from Great Britain having an implied probability of 3.8% judging by the betting odds.
Paul Townend remains favourite for the Top Jockey with Michael O'Sullivan backed into 9/1
Michael O'Sullivan currently leads the way for the Holland Cooper Leading Jockey Award for this week's Cheltenham Festival.
This has seen his odds tumble into 9/1 to win the trophy this year with pre-Festival favourite Paul Townend still staying at the top of the betting market.
Townend is second in the leaderboard with 1 win and two second places so far at the Festival and his odds are 4/7 to win the award.
