The Ladbrokes World Hurdle is the feature race on day 3 of the 2011 Cheltenham Festival. The World Hurdle is for the stayers as the distance is the only 3 mile hurdle race and this is very much a specialist race for the staying hurdlers. The Ladbrokes World Hurdle is hurdlers version of the Chasers Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The Cheltenham World Hurdle has produced a couple of horses in the last decade who have dominated this race in Inglis Drever and Baracuda. Both horses have been a joy to watch as they both had their little quirks, unfortunately we have lost Inglis Drever in the Autumn.
Baracuda had to be produced just after the final flight and Inglis Drever would always make it look hard work until they came down the hill the second time where he really took off and powered up the Cheltenham Hill to win in style.
Big Bucks is the current favourite for this years race and will be looking to uphold the great tradition of these great hurdlers in coming back to win this race. Keep in touch with all the latest market moves on our Cheltenham Festival odds comparison service.
