Imperial Commander breezes through Warwick Gallop
ByThey old adage is that of “Horses for Courses” and the Cheltenham Festival is perhaps the best example of the truth behind this saying.
With a tough track followed by a remarkably difficult finish, the Cheltenham course will suit certain horses, delivering them fame and glory, whilst at the same time it is capable of breaking the will and ruining the reputation of many top prospects.
A horse that has experienced both success and failure at Cheltenham is the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Imperial Commander.
The winner of the last year’s Gold Cup will undoubtedly attract plenty of money from both the armchair punters and serious horse betting gamblers for another victory this year.
And the backers will be boosted by the latest reports following a run for the impressive ten-year-old at Warwick.
The horse was put through his paces early on Wednesday morning with two younger stablemates and came through very impressively.
Out since picking up a cut and missing the King George as a result, Imperial Commander was last seen in action when winning the Betfair Chase in November.
That performance reminded many of his on-going abilities and his prospects for a winning return to Cheltenham.
The next port of call for the horse is expected to be the Racing Post Chase at Kempton, where a good run will be expected to impact the ante-post betting.
Imperial Commander is currently 7/2 favourite to retain the Gold Cup at Cheltenham in March.
