Willie Mullins aims for treble at Cheltenham Festival
Willie Mullins is expected to have a strong performance at the Cheltenham Festival, with his total winners reaching 105 after day one. Two of his horses won on Tuesday, but a few defeats favored the bookies. Punters are now backing a 33/1 treble for Mullins on Wednesday. The favorites include Final Demand at 6/4 in the Turners Novices' Hurdle and Ballyburn at 4/6 in the Brown Advisory. Energumene, at 7/1, aims to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase. If all three win, it could result in significant losses for the bookmakers.
