El Fabiolo Arkle Chase Odds: Mullins' Horse 13/8 Joint Favourite
The Cheltenham Festival gets underway on Tuesday 14th March, with the Arkle Chase the second race of the afternoon. As we embark on yet another year at Cheltenham, the impressive Willie Mullins trained El Fabiolo heads the market as the joint favourite to win the second race of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.
El Fabiolo Arkle Chase Odds
The second race of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival gets underway on Tuesday 14th March. The race takes place at 2.10pm, with the Arkle Chase taking centre stage. This Grade 1 race is one of the biggest on the opening day of the Festival, and there are some fantastic horses on show here.
One of the standout horses in the Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices’ Chase is the Willie Mullins trained El Fabiolo.
The 6-year-old gelding currently sits as the joint favourite at odds of around 13/8 with the best horse racing betting sites. El Fabiolo has never raced around the Cheltenham track before, but boasts a three race winning streak coming into the Arkle Chase on Tuesday.
Last time out, El Fabiolo won impressively at Leopardstown in the Irish Arkle Novice Chase (Grade 1), winning by ten lengths to prepare for the Cheltenham Festival. Jockey Daryl Jacob will likely be in the saddle on El Fabiolo – a horse and jockey duo that are well acquainted with each other. Due to this performance last month in Ireland and his last few runs, El Fabiolo is rightfully the joint betting favourite here.
The two joint favourites, Jonbon and El Fabiolo, have faced each other before at Aintree last year in the Betway Top Novices’ Hurdle. On that day, Jonbon won by a neck in an incredibly tight race. Horse racing fans are excited to again see that duel this year at Cheltenham in the Arkle.
Willie Mullins will be confident of a win for El Fabiolo and he certainly looks a strong horse and one of the ones to beat here in the Arkle Chase, alongside Jonbon.
In terms of Cheltenham odds, El Fabiolo’s price could well shorten as the Arkle Chase race approaches. He is one of the most eye-catching horses in this race, alongside the Nicky Henderson trained Jonbon.
Two other Mullins’ horses in Dysart Dynamo and Saint Roi could be El Fabiolo’s biggest threats, along with Jonbon of course as the joint betting favourite.
Mullins’ 6-year-old is the joint betting favourite, with fellow legendary trainer Nicky Henderson also entering a dazzling horse in the second race on Day 1 in the Arkle Chase. You can check out Willie Mullins vs Nicky Henderson head-to-head racing stats and net worth
