Supreme Novices Hurdle 2020

[ComplyOrDie]

Been going through the list of horses on Oddschecker for this race, and one stands out, Mister Coffey.

Currently a 66/1 shot for the race, he was recently purchased by Lady Bamford (she owns a load of good flat horses with John Gosden) from Harry Whittington, for 340k, and sent to Nicky Henderson, after an impressive victory over a load of very average horses on his rules debut in a bumper at Huntingdon.

Mister Coffey done pretty much everything wrong on debut, he sweated before the off, was green, and pulled for near enough the whole race, but looked a fairly quick horse nonetheless. He looked a huge horse, compared with the other runners that day and I suspect chasing will be his end game.

Nicky has Shishkin & Chantry House, both from the PTP sphere, who could well end up over further, leaving the door open for Mister Coffey (I'm sure others as well) as his Supreme candidates.

I've had a tentative play, as IMO, 66/1 is more than fair at this very early stage.

Liam, probably doesn't help that Mark Howard put him in his Irish Field piece ....so not only did the buyers of his book get the information, but all the buyers of that weekly paper.

Betstars 33/1 didn't last long.....into 14/1 co-fav. Now that's taking evasive action

Probably took £100 for it and ran for cover. None of the bookies want ante post liabilities these days.

I am surprised they are not more ambitious. Plenty of punters prepared to snatch up big prices on horses we haven't even seen yet

The game changed when the independents disappeared and the industry became dominated by a few big boys sadly

Obviously a bit tongue and cheek - interesting all the same.

You best get posting a bit more to shed the 'Top Amateur' tag, as I'm sure it's done on number of posts!

A teenager seeking likes and followers by drawing parallels between Jon Snow and Faugheen is not in any way interesting.

Each to there own but not sure the relevance of his age and especially not given his background in the game and his knowledge of the sport.

What Comparisons does Jon Snow have with Faugheen apart from the owner and trainer?

Absolutelyyyyy bugger all!

I guess the lad was just a big Faugheen fan and probably wants to see another like him, don't we all though!
