Faugheen Champion Hurdle quotes an overreaction by bookies

After Faugheen had won in a canter at Punchestown on Tuesday, the bookmakers wasted no time introducing him into the Champion Hurdle market.

Prior to Tuesday, he wasn’t on anyone’s list, including his trainer, Willie Mullins, you suspect, for that race.

But so impressive was he, and with Mullins far from ruling out a bid for the Champion Hurdle, the layers had no option but to quote him.
