Katchit 2009 Champion Hurdle Favourite
Katchit has been put in as the 2009 Champion Hurdle favourite after his game win in this year's Champion Hurdle. He has been installed 5-1 favourite with totesport to repeat the feat in next year’s race. Spokesman Damian Walker said: “Katchit has defied the five-year-old bogey in the Champion Hurdle and we expect him to improve again next season, so we are only 5-1.
“He is the first five-year-old to land the Champion Hurdle since three-time winner See You Then and just like that horse Katchit could easily run up a sequence. “Punjabi, another five-year-old, has run a blinder in third and is 16-1 for next year’s race.”
Supreme Novice Hurdle winner Captain Cee Bee is 16-1 for the next year’s Champion Hurdle. Tidal Bay is 7-1 for the Champion Chase after his easy Arkle win and this was very impressive and is a live one for next year's race.
