Min slashed for Supreme Novices’ after Punchestown stroll

Min is 4-1 (from 8-1) favourite with Coral for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, after the 4-y-o made an impressive winning start to his career in Ireland today.

“Having been backed from 20-1 down to 8-1 for the Supreme before his first start for Willie Mullins, there was plenty of interest in Min’s Punchestown appearance today.  He didn’t disappoint those ante-post punters who had already got involved for the Festival opener at bigger prices, and it’s fair to say he’s no longer just a talking horse,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
