Coral Cup Betting Trends
The Coral Cup is open to horses four years or older, but it usually brings up slightly more experienced campaigners with 10 of the last 12 winners aged between 6-8 years.
The betting market for this race is wide-open and that’s no surprise with 1 of the last 12 winners priced as favourites, 2/12 winners were in the top 3 in the betting, and 9/12 were priced 12/1 or bigger. It could be a race to pluck an outsider at a big price!
Interestingly only 2 winners have had more than 9 hurdle runs but they both have come in the last 2 editions of this race with Commander Of Fleet in 2022 (13 hurdle runs) and Langer Dan last year (16).
