2009 totesport Mile Preview

It’s day four of the Glorious Goodwood Festival, and today’s feature race comes in the form of a 1 mile handicap, the 2009 totesport Mile.

Betting on a handicap is never easy, and the totesport Mile will be no exception as it has drawn a large field featuring several entries more than capable of storming to victory in the race. However, handicaps are also renowned for value, and there are great odds to be had in the totesport Mile betting markets.

Henry Cecil’s Cloudy Start has emerged as the favourite in the totesport Mile betting markets over the past week. He’s placed in each of his last four races, taking two wins in the process, and is a great value bet at 7/1.

Cloudy Start is shadowed by Extraterrestrial at 7/1, who boasts a less than stellar record over recent races, but has nevertheless attracted strong backing from punters. Luca Cumani’s Acrostic has also been trading around the 7/1 mark.

If you’re betting on this race, you’re pretty much left looking to markets for guidance. Punters have been spot on in the last three feature races at Goodwood, which suggests it may be an idea to bet each way on all three entries priced around 7/1 in the totesport Mile betting markets.
