These are great indices because not only do they give you an interest in the star race on each day of the festival, but the gap between races allows you to trade in and out easily. All the feature races start at the same time every day -3.20pm. We will be updating the spreads after each day's racing, so check back in with us to see the changes and market movements.
As you see there are some great spread betting opportunities at this year's Cheltenham Festival -so check them all out at Sporting Index on their horse racing markets page.  |
