David Nicholson Mares Hurdle Betting 2011

David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle betting 2011 will be interesting because there are a lot of horses out to topple the clear favourite.

The current favourite for the David Nicholson Mares Hurdle 2011 is a six-year-old French Bay Mare called Quevega. Quevega has won this race for the last two years and will be going for a hat-trick this time round.

The horse comes from the Willie Mullins stables and has won six times from eight races so far in a very short career. Ruby Walsh developed a very strong and powerful way of riding the horse, which has resulted in a string of wins. A best price of 5/4 is available on the favourite.

It will be very difficult for the contenders for the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle 2011 to catch Quevega but there are a few horses that could cause a real upset.

Second favourite for the 2011 race is a six-year-old Bay Mare called Sparky May. Sparky May doesn’t have as many career wins as Quevega but four wins and two places out of eight races is not a bad record.

Sparky May is trained by Patrick Rodford and has won in some very large fields of horses. The horse has only ever had one jockey and this has allowed a holding up style to develop and mature with the horse. This horse provides a great David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle betting 2011 either to win or each way at 6/1.

Willie Mullins Horse to Watch

Tarla is the Willie Mullins horse to watch of Cheltenham. The horse is an unknown commodity of this race because there is very little race history to draw assumptions from. The four-year-old Bay Fily is a Willie Mullins trained horse and has won once from one race over 18 furlongs at Punchestown.

Tarla was ridden on that occasion by Paul Townend who is a very experienced National Hunt jockey. Few people may choose to gamble on the best price of 8/1 currently available on the market but a place in the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle 2011 isn’t out of the question.
