Sir Des Champs a ridiculousprice for Cheltenham Gold Cup

One might have thought that bookmakers would have sent Sir Des Champs galloping out in the Cheltenham Gold Cup betting, following that performance at Punchestown on Tuesday.

But not a bit of it and those brave boys who do their business off-course were unmoved and refused to allow any extension in the horse’s odds.

He remains a top-priced 6-1 with some firms, 5’s with others and there are even those, well Coral, who think punters should come out to play as low as 4-1.
