Supreme Novices Hurdle 2021

[Atlantic Viking]

Appreciate It is 6 no?

Technically 6 (Born 2nd May 2014) but 7 in racehorse land.

[Quevega]

Appreciate It is 6 no?

No
seven....

[Altior]

Christ could sworn I thought he wasn't, I stand corrected.

[ToniC]

Be surprised if there had been more than a handful of 7 year olds line up in the race in the last 10 years or so, appreciate probably the first to try that isn’t just a rag making up the numbers

Exactly. Think the 7 year old stat is a complete red herring. Be interesting to see the list of 7 year olds who have tried it...

[Altior]

Sure after next years Supreme someone will mention a trend that the last two winners were both 7 y/o's

[Diamond Geezer]

Only five seven-year-old's have triumphed in this race during it's 75 year history (73 races), the last being Captain Cee Bee in 2008. However, Willie Mullins landed his maiden Cheltenham Festival success with seven year old Tourist Attraction.

Cheers AV. Plenty of no hopers there!

It's not statistically significant. They were expected to win 0 and they won 0.

That's not completely true. Dunguib was expected to win.

[germanshepherd]

That's not completely true. Dunguib was expected to win.

Still not significant. Captain Cee Bee won at 17/2. Most of them had no chance.

Im not saying it was significant. As I said above, I think the stat is a red herring.

[Ice]

That's not completely true. Dunguib was expected to win.

Not by me he wasn't !

[Kevloaf]

Not by me he wasn't !

He was by meeee.

First festival that I had the full week off for.... I bought a chocolate trifle for the week.... after he lost, and I lost my fifty squid (big bet at the time) I went downstairs and tucked straight in to the trifle to make up for the disappointment.





Just checked the results that day, I don't have records for 2010, but I'd be amazed if I had a winner other than Quevega that day as none of them ring a bell apart from Binocular and I 100% was not on him
