Master Minded Whipped But Reveals Tips For Cheltenham 2009

Saturday April 05, 2008

We told you that we'd be back! As as promised we have more juicy bits from Day Two of the Aintree Grand National Meeting 2008.

This time it was the 3.10 Melling Chase which offered up the huge upset with massive favourite and Cheltenham superstar Master Minded beaten when going off at 2-5 Favourite.

This result will really have hit the punters where it hurts; their pockets, and many will have gone in big on Master Minded following his stunning win in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham 2008 last month.

Voy Por Ustedes put in a brilliant performance at a distance that seemed to suit him a lot better than Master Minded, who hit the second last hard and ran out of steam in the long home straight here at Aintree.

'Choc' Thorntonrode Voy Por Ustedes for his second win of meeting and he'll now be looking forward to tomorrow where he rides D'Argent; an interesting outsider at a decent price in the big one.

Master Minded will almost certainly go back to chasing over 2m next year, although he's now drifted to 6-4 to repeat his amazing Cheltenham win in the Queen Mother Champion Chase 2009.

That looks to great value to us, although like many others we've got our fingers burnt today so what do we know? Voy Por Ustedes has been cut to 5-1 but questions will be asked whether he's better suited to a longer distance and he may be aimed at another target at Cheltenham Festival 2009.

Keep tuned as there'll be more from TheOnlinewire as soon as we get our hands on the tips! In the meantime practice winning lolly at the mighty Bodog Sportsbook. Or for the chance to win big in poker check out Bodog Poker.
