Power take on Cue Card in Supreme

BOOKMAKERS Paddy Power are hoping lightning can strike for a third time by offering a money-back special if Cue Card wins the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The firm have offered the same concession for the last two years on beaten favourites Cousin Vinny and Dunguib and are taking on Colin Tizzard’s five-year-old in the Festival opener.

Currently on offer at 9-4 with Paddy Power, the bookie will refund all losing bets placed from 10am on February 27 if Cue Card comes home in front.

“Our big Cheltenham special has now become part of the Festival, and much as we think Cue Card is close to being a stone-bonking certainty, we just can’t resist giving it another bash for the third year on the trot,” said Paddy Power.

“The law of averages suggests that one day we’re going to be caught with our pants down, and when we do there won’t be too many sympathetic shoulders to cry on!

“This is Cheltenham, it’s hard enough to pick winners so why should it be just the punters who take a chance?”
