Champion Day results from Cheltenham Festival 2012

March 14, 2012 - PRLog -- With the 2012 Cheltenham Festival underway, there has been a selection of thrilling races which have kept horse racing fans and bettors on the edge of their seats. Not only have there been shock results, but a number of Cheltenham favourites confirmed expectations by winning their respective races. The Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup site will run through the significant Champion Day results and also provide Ladies Day betting tips for the next day at Cheltenham Festival 2012 (http://www.betfredcheltenhamgoldcup.com/cheltenham-festival-2012/).

During the Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase, the relatively new Sprinter Sacre managed to secure first position. While many were jubilant about his success, horse racing professionals were also disappointed in 2011 winner Al Ferof only achieving fourth position. Many had already predicted that Sprinter Sacre would win, yet it was thought that the Arkle Chase would be a close competition between the two opponents.

Throughout the afternoon, there were even more shocking Champion Day results as Hurricane Fly only managed to achieve third position during the Champion Hurdle. It was widely predicted that the horse would easily defend his title, however he only managed to place after Rock On Ruby and Overturn, who achieved first and second position respectively.
 
Horse racing fans and punters are now looking ahead to the Cheltenham Festival Ladies Day (http://www.betfredcheltenhamgoldcup.com/schedule/ladies-day/).  To help bettors make well-informed stakes the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup site offers Ladies Day betting tips and predictions for the event. The RSA Chase looks set to be a close competition between Bobs Worth and First Lieutenant - both horses have been predicted as potential winners for the Cheltenham race.  Another eagerly anticipated race is the Queen Mother Champion Steeple Chase. Sizing Europe looks set to pull a strong performance out of the bag - it has been predicted that the competitor will be able to outperform Big Zeb, as he recently did in the 2012 Tied Cottage Chase.
