Cheltenham Festival: Cleeve Hurdle Winner Betting Odds - Big Bucks Big Bet
The Cheltenham Cleeve Hurdle winner betting odds had Big Bucks as the big EVEN-odds favorite, seeing more action than any other horse in any other race worldwide Saturday. 32Red.com was paying slightly better than EVEN odds at 10/9.
Boston Bob had the second shortest odds at 3/1.
Big Bucks has won 20 hurdle races from 2m 1f to 3m to date.
From Sporting Life: Paul Nicholls' stayer has been patiently nursed back to health and, though this will be the 11-year-old's first run since beating Reve De Sivola by nine lengths in the 2012 Long Walk Hurdle, defeat is unlikely. Reve De Sivola has been cashing in while the champion has been away, winning last month's Long Walk at Ascot where At Fishers Cross was a beaten horse when crashing out at the last. The latter has much to prove now. Boston Bob's chase career stalled last spring but he made a winning return over hurdles and may be kept to the smaller obstacles for the time being. He makes more appeal than Knockara Beau and Quartz de Thaix, also better known as chasers.
