Willie Mullins highly rated Cousin Vinny has been subject to extreme support for next weeks curtain-raiser, The Supreme Novices Hurdle, with Coral making him clear 2/1 favourite. Mullins hopes to saddle three horses in a race which has been successful for him in the past, however he holds Cousin Vinny in the highest regard.
‘If we come down in favour of the Supreme Novices, I’d like to think Cousin Vinny has the speed for the race’ said Mullins. He has reportedly been in fine form schooling at home in preparation for what has been his season long target.
After beating Realt Dubh in great style at Naas, Cousin Vinny was travelling strongly before unseating at Leopordstown a few weeks ago. The market suggests however that the punters are willing to forgive his error, and there is a real possibility that he will go off as the shortest priced favourite since Christy Roache's Like-A-Butterfly back in 2002.
