Supreme Novices’ Hurdle Betting Odds
Facile Vega is going to go off as favourite for the first race of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.
Paul Townend will ride the Willie Mullins trained runner, while the likes of Il Etait Temps and Marine Nationale will be behind in the betting, a race dominated by Irish runners at the head of the market.
What Happened in 2022?
The Supreme has delivered some big performances over the years, and the victory of Constitution Hill in the 2022 running of the race may just go down as one of the best ever.
Prior to the race, this looked a strong field, but they were no match for the Nicky Henderson trained runner, who ran out the winner by 22 lengths.
It really was a performance to kick start the 2022 Cheltenham Festival in style.
