Hennessy Gold Cup – One of my favourite races

Hennessy Gold Cup – One of my favourite races

I have fond memories of the Hennessy Gold Cup. I’ve traditionally done well at this race and it’s the race I traded live at the IX Investor show for Betfair in 2006.

Golden day ahead

Golden day ahead

After what has been an excellent week we can look forward to the big day today. Thanks to all the users who have emailed me this with some excellent results and it’s great to see some exceptional totals out there. I’ve always been reluctant to post my figures up as I think they can often set false expectations but it’s great to see I was humbled on Tuesday!

Looking at the structure of the Gold Cup today it looks like …
