Supreme Novice Hurdle 2019

For me it's noticeable that more horses from the Royal Bond step up in trip (and be successful) than those that stay at 2m, if he is one Willie thinks will go up in trip it would seem logical, IMO, to run him in this race, and I too would expect him to go well.

I put something in the thread earlier about keeping an eye out for a potential Albert Bartlett runner from this race, which is all I will be looking for when watching the race.

I respect that. He said "may"
If you watch all his races and the way he travels is visually very impressive hes keen enough they had to try a hood on him. personally think he'll force his hand and put himself in the reckoning for the supreme . He's a high cruising speed and a long stride.

He's bound to shorten for this race IF he wins the Royal Bond, so using the cash-out option of 365 is probably a wise move, as I'm sure you will be looking at doing should be defer elsewhere for the festival.
 
I'd be quite choosy about relying on 'quotes' in Willie's stable tour. As Jack1092 implied somewhere else, some of the comments on Supreme horses are inaccurate but I wouldn't know whether they are misquotes by the RP or misspoken words by Willie.
 
And we can now officially say goodbye to the last of the 10's available on Annamix!

8/1 best price, can't remember how short Vautour, Douvan or Min were before they saw a race in Ireland, but would struggle to think it was this short?
 
Vautour and Douvan were def double figure prices after their first runs, think Min went pretty short after his.

Min was 50s antepost 12s pre race 7s straight after in 1 place, down to 4/1 before his next race

Cheers Scooby. On the basis that Min was 12's, Annamix is really too short right now!

As has been discussed on this thread previously, I would not be able to justify backing him further at such ridiculous odds! Luckily I have some money down at 20's & 14's, and even took 12's, but no more now.

Vautour must have been a nice price cos Allez Collombieres was fav.
 
Im sure i got on Vautour around 20 on exchange after first race and Douvan was around 12/1 after beating Sizing John in first race.
 
Vautour was still double figures before the Deloitte in Feb (so after 2 runs). The Tullow Tank was fav and odds on (9/10F) for that race and if I remember correctly he (TTT) was around 8/1 for the Supreme at the time

Correct Jono
 
Vautour was 7/1 a week before the Supreme! Hard to believe how good we had it then.
 
The funny thing is, every time Ricci does an interview he seems surprised the 'green and pink colours' are favourite for the race, like he has never won it before.

Like, don't get me wrong, 8/1 is appalling, and the price doesn't last long for his colours, but when you have had 3 of the last 6 winners, and just shy of making that 4 with Min, not to mention Faugheen winning the Ballymore Novice Hurdle too, what would you honestly expect the bookmakers to do? Not going to turn a blind eye are they!
 
I think everyone is over looking the most important piece of this puzzle. Annamix is GREY and therefore is a superstar and should be 2/1.

Done and dusted, might as well pay out now ;)

We're due another ... 3 of the last 8 were grey. Greys CLEARLY suited to the race
