Master Minded Odds for the Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase 2011 are reading well at the moment, for the big race of Wednesday, March 16th. This is one of the top races of the Cheltenham Festival, and a lot of ante post betting has gone towards Master Minded and Big Zeb, and the race is looking as if it will come down to those two. Master Minded won the Queen Mother Champion Chase in 2009, but could retain the title last year. However, that can almost be just written off as a bad day now, and he has been clipping along in some great form since. Master Minded picked up a good eight length victory at Cheltenham in December, priming him well for this race, and he edged out Somersby (who is also contesting this race) by a short head towards the end of January. Has a pretty good record at Cheltenham, and will be expected to go strong again in the big head to head clash with Big Zeb. Master Minded is a proven performer and that is why you will find the Best Odds on Master Minded for the Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase, around 3/1 at BetFred. These are actually reasonable odds for one of the front runners, and the price is evenly matched with that of Big Zeb last year’s winner.
The question of Master Minded odds at the Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase, is whether or not he can regain his crown? He is a two time winner, back in 2008 and 2009, and is looking for the prestigious hat trick of wins. Master Minded has undergone a breathing operation this season, and that has not held him back, winning all three of his appearances since, but his last run was pushed hard by Somersby. Can Best Odds on Master Minded see him bounce back? It is not an easy thing to do, and has not looked quite as invincible as he was back in 2008 when winning the Queen Mother. If Master Minded is not on top of his game, then he will not only have Big Zeb to worry about, but solid chasers in Somersby, Golden Silver and Sizing Europe could all make his life a lot more difficult. There is a lot more to the Queen Mother Champion Chase than just the two front runners. This should be a quality race and could not be as straight forwards as punters may think. But for Master Minded, there is still the aura of a champion underlying all of the speculation as to whether he is really back to his best or not. Either way you cut it, he is going to be in with a solid chance here. So there is still value on the Best Odds on Master Minded at around 3/1. Not enough to go each way of course, but worth a straight punt, as he has the power to beat Big Zeb. He probably still is the best horse in the race, and still has that electrifying turn of speed.
