Supreme Novices’ Hurdle Betting Odds (January Update)
The Willie Mullins trained Facile Vega is a strong favourite for the Supreme, with two months to go until the race.
Already odds on, the gelding is a best price of 5/6 with a couple of bookmakers, while Marine Nationale, owned and trained by Barry Connell, is the next best available generally at 5/1.
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.
