How Many SP Favourites Won At The 2021 Cheltenham Festival
During the 2021 Cheltenham Festival favourite backers were rewarded 29% of the time over the 28 races.
On the opening day we saw three market leaders win – Appreciate It, Shishkin and Honeysuckle.
Day two was another good start for favourite backers with Bob Olinger and Monkfish taking the opening two races, but these were the only two jollies that won on the Wednesday.
Onto the Thursday at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival and it was a slow start for the favourites until Allaho landed the Ryanair Chase, then The Shunter took the Paddy Power Plate and Mount Ida came from the clouds to win the Kim Muir Chase to make it another three winning favourites on the day.
The final day at the Cheltenham Festival is arguably the hardest, in terms of the races generally being more competitive, and this proved the case again in 2021 with not a single favourite winning.
So, overall, at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival we saw a total of 8 winning favourites from the 28 races (29%).
