National Hunt horse racing punters have been waiting for 365 days for the start of the 2008 Cheltenham Festival. Online bookmakers are expecting this year’s event to be the biggest Cheltenham Festival betting four days ever.

The highlight of this year’s Cheltenham Festival is the Cheltenham Gold Cup with the clash between Kauto Star and Denman. There is an unusual amount of hype about this years race and punters are split as to who will win the race this year. Kauto Star looks to be getting better, while Denman is improving with every run.

Many punters are attending the pre Cheltenham Festival race evening throughout the UK and Ireland in the hope for getting a couple of Cheltenham Festival tips. At the Silver Springs session one of the most interesting pieces of advice came from jockey Ruby Walsh who is even money himself to be the top jockey, while he suggested that Tony McCoy is his best tip for this year festival to be top jockey at 6/1.

All the online bookmakers are offering Cheltenham Festival Free Bets as many punters will be opening a few accounts to use over the 4 days. It is a good time to do this as the bookies are increasing their offers for this year and you can get the top free bets offers on Betting Directory.
