The firm are sweating buckets with that figure threatening to become seven figures by tomorrows off time! Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “Hurricane Fly is one of our biggest losers. It would be a great result for the Irish but not necessarily for us on Day 1 of the festival. It would definitely put us on the back foot. Between that and our money back special if Cue Card wins the first race I think it’s fair to say we’re feeling the heat!”Paddy Power will refund all losing singles on the Supreme Novices Hurdle tomorrow if favourite Cue Card wins the race. If the special clicks it will cost the bookie up to €2million!And it’s not just the Irish horses that punters are getting behind.

Seven or more is the 6/4 favourite! And when it comes to Ireland’s favourite entrepreneur Michael O’Leary, punters can have 7/4 on him having a winner any day next week!
