Cheltenham Betting Tips
The great and the good were invited to Langton’s in Kilkenny of a fantastic evening of Cheltenham Previewing. Unfortunately the great and good were all washing their hair, but Paddy Power did still manage to assemble a really good panel of experts, featuring:
Donn McLean – Sunday Times and Irish Field journalist and one of the shrewdest judges in the game.
David Minton – Renowned breeder and bloodstock agent who incidentally has bought no less than thirteen winners of the Triumph Hurdle
Edward O’Grady – A leading trainer and one with a particular fondness for winning at Cheltenham.
Timmy Murphy – one of the best jockeys in the business with a host of victories on board some of the best horses in some of the best races, most recently, guiding Comply Or Die to victory in the Grand National.
Tony Mullins – a leading trainer and part of the Mullins dynasty.
Mick Fitzgerald – former top jockey and rapidly becoming a top MC.
Paul Ryan – our man on the inside.
It looks like Cousin Vinny might be the only Irish banker doing anyone a favour this year.
Paddy Power took the idiotic incredible decision to REFUND ALL LOSING BETS on the Supremes Novice Hurdle if Cousin Vinny wins the race. He’s 5/2 now, he’ll almost certainly be shorter on the day, and by my reckoning this makes our offer the most generous Money-Back Special in racing history.
So just to be clear - any horse, no matter where he finishes (or even if he doesn’t) - if Cousin Vinny wins you are all getting your Money Back. And unlike some other bookmakers I could mention, when Paddy Power say Money Back that’s what they mean.
So is this a stroke of genius or a stroke of madness? I can’t decide. But one thing is for sure, there’s going to be even more interest than usual in the Supreme Novices’ this year in Paddy Power HQ.
