Betfred have slashed Kauto Star from 10/1 to 4/1 to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup after an historic 5th win in the King George VI Chase
“Kauto Star belied his age with a breathtaking fifth success in the King George and only the bravest of punters would bet against him landing a third Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup at the Festival in March,” said Betfred spokesman George Primarolo.
Kauto Star’s victory gave no respite to the bookmakers, who were left reeling at Kempton after the first four favourites won, including the well-backed pair of Grands Crus and Binocular.
“Any chance of it being a bumper Boxing Day for the bookies evaporated after both Grands Crus and Binocular landed the spoils and Kauto Star’s record-breaking fifth victory in the King George means an estimated £5million will have been handed over to punters industry-wide,” said Betfred spokesman George Primarolo.
