MIN does not have many letters in his name and it did not take many Euros to buy him from France either as Willie Mullins suggested on Sunday that the hot favourite for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle has turned out to be one of the biggest bargains of his career.

Guy Petit initially purchased Min in November 2013 on behalf of trainer Yannick Fouin for just €6,000 and, despite two rather tame efforts at Auteuil, Mullins’ French experts Pierre Boulard and Harold Kirk decided it was worth taking a chance on the Walk In The Park gelding.

“Min was not overly expensive at all,” said Mullins about the Rich and Susannah Ricci-owned five-year-old who was on Sunday cut to a general 6-4 (from 7-4) after bookmakers reported sustained support for him to win the opening race at the Cheltenham Festival after Saturday’s sizzling success at Punchestown.

Clue in the pedigree

“If you look at his form in France, he was beaten quite a distance in his two runs, so he didn’t have a huge price tag. The reason we were so interested in him at the time was because he was by Walk In The Park, who was the same sire as Douvan. 

“At the time we thought quite a bit of Douvan, even though it was very early in his career, so we thought it might be worth taking a chance on Min and that is what we did. 

“Yannick Fouin did recommend him to us and Harold and Pierre  both liked him. But he wasn’t overly expensive at all. It is not always about spending the most money and Min proves that.”

Mullins said that Min is unlikely to run again before the Cheltenham Festival after emerging from his impressive win in the Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle in good shape.”I would say it’s likely Min will head straight there now. He was fine this morning,” Mullins added.
