Festival Plate Handicap Chase Betting
The Festival Plate Handicap Chase is a handicap run over two mile four furlongs for chasers who are five years old and older. There is always a large field which goes to post and this tends to be a tough race for punters to work out as proved in 2008 when Mister McGoldrick caused the upset of the festival winning at the massive odds of 66/1. This is further emphasised by the fact that there has only been 1 winning favourite in the last 27 years.
Martin Pipe now retired and his operation is managed by his son David had a great run of success in this race between 1999 and 2001 winning it three times running and Nicky Henderson won it twice in a row in recent years in 2005 and 2006.
