A horse owned by JP McManus, Kopeck De Mee, has become the favorite for three races at the Cheltenham Festival. The five-year-old gelding, previously racing in France, is now a top contender for the Coral Cup, County Hurdle, and Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.
A horse owned by JP McManus has surged to the top of the betting lists for three separate races at the upcoming Cheltenham Festival , sparking a wave of speculation. Kopeck De Mee , a name unfamiliar to many horse racing enthusiasts, has spent his racing career in France. Acquired last summer by JP McManus and entrusted to the renowned trainer Willie Mullins, the gelding is yet to don the iconic green and gold silks associated with McManus's racing stable.
However, that could change at the Cheltenham Festival, where significant betting activity has positioned Kopeck De Mee as the favorite or joint-favorite for the Coral Cup, County Hurdle, and Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle. This five-year-old contender has attracted attention with his impressive performance record, notably winning a listed contest in Auteuil last May. The betting odds reflect this confidence, placing him as low as 6/1 for both the County Hurdle and the Coral Cup, and a competitive 5/1 for the Martin Handicap Hurdle. These races, each with distinct distances, present a diverse challenge: the County Hurdle covers two miles, the Martin Pipe extends to two miles and four furlongs, and the Coral Cup races over two miles and five furlongs.The strategic direction for Kopeck De Mee remains unclear. Will connections opt for one race, or will he attempt to conquer multiple hurdles? The betting market, however, sends a clear message: Kopeck De Mee is considered a well-handicapped horse with the potential to shine at next month's Cheltenham Festival.
