Cleeve Hurdle Betting 2012 - Big Bucks Claims Win

The Cleeve Hurdle is one of the key trial races for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and is often a race that the main protagonists will take in before going to the Festival. The Cleeve Hurdle is also run at Cheltenham so it makes it a great way for the horses and connections to get a run at the course before the all important World Hurdle in March.

We have seen plenty of illustrious names win the Cleeve Hurdle including the two most famous hurdlers from the past decade, these include Inglis Drever  who won the Cleeve and the World Hurdle in 2008 and Big Buck's who did the same in 2009. Those two winners of the race are enough to confirm the importance of the Cleeve Hurdle when having a bet on the World Hurdle and it is a race that should be followed very closely.
