Beau Was the Last Winning bet365 Gold Cup Favourite in 2000

If you like backing the favourites in horse races – be careful ahead of today’s bet365 Gold Cup.

Why? Well, favourite backers have not hit the bullseye in this feature Sandown race on Saturday since 2000!

Yes, the last winning market leader to win the bet365 Gold Cup was the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Beau, ridden by Carl Llewellyn (watch below).

Beau Wasn’t Even The Outright Favourite

Oh, and Beau wasn’t even the outright favourite that day either. This 7 year-old was in-fact co-favourites of three.

Therefore, we can to go back further to 1990 to find Mr Frisk, who won the Grand National that year and followed up next time out in the Whitbread Gold Cup (that’s what the race used to be called) as the 9/2 outright favourite – watch below.

Who Are the Likely bet365 Gold Cup Favourites For Saturday’s Race?

So, which horse – or horses – will be trying to end this massive stretch of no winning favourites?

It looks likely the last weekend’s Scottish Grand National – KITTY’S LIGHT – will have the honour of attempting to kick this long-standing stat into touch.

The Christian Williams-trained 7 year-old has been supported all week and now he’s a confirmed runner has firmed up with the best UK horse racing betting sites even more.

He’ll be looking to repeat what Hot Weld did in 2007 and win the Scottish Grand National and bet365 Gold Cup in the same season.

If Kitty’s Light does take a walk in the market, the likes of Revels Hill, Enrilo, who won this race in 2021 but was later disqualified for causing interference, and Frodon could challenge for the dreaded favourites berth.

Will we finally see a bet365 Gold Cup winning favourite on Saturday?
