Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting

After Trobolgan romped home under top weight in the Hennessey Tobolgan was a major player in the Cheltenham Gold Cup betting market. However like in poliitics a lot can happen in a week in horse racing and unfortunately Tobolgan has met with a set back and Trainer Nicky Henderson hopes Trabolgan can return to the track in time for next year's totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup despite his star being ruled out of the Stan James King George VI Chase at Sandown on Boxing Day.

The Hennessy Gold Cup hero was found to have suffered "mild changes" within the tendon-fibre pattern to his near fore following a scan at 4pm on Wednesday afternoon.

Totesport pushed Trabolgan out to 13-2 from 5-1 for the Prestbury Park showpiece, with Kicking King hardening to 2-1 from 11-4 for the King George. Spokesman Damian Walker said: "It's a big blow for punters as Trabolgan was by far the biggest loser in our ante-post book on the King George. The news had been expected all day after some feverish betting activity on his King George rivals. Trabolgan is our third-worst loser in the Gold Cup betting behind Kingscliff and Iris's Gift - having been laid as big as 20-1 at the beginning of the season."
