Is Cyrname The Horse To Beat In The King George VI Chase?

The King George VI Chase is the second most prestigious race of the jumps season. The only race that is considered more prestigious is Cheltenham Gold Cup. It is run over three miles and there are 18 fences to be crossed. Last season the prize pot stood at £250,000.

Cyrname is the favourite to win the King George. It will be his second attempt to do so after finishing second in the race last year. Clas Des Obeaux is looking to join a select number of horses that have won the prestigious race on numerous occasions. Only 14 horses have ever won it more than once. The King Georges attracts some of the biggest names in racing. There will also be a lot of options for gamblers. Kauto Star and Desert Orchid have both won this race. Sir Alex Ferguson-owned horse will probably be popular. He is a proven stayer over this distance.
