Nicky Henderson’s star stayer is 8/1 to follow in the legend’s footsteps.
Might Bite has been priced up at just 8/1 to win the Betfair Chase this Saturday and any race at Cheltenham Festival in 2019.
No horse has achieved such a feat since the late Kauto Star, when Clive Smith’s charge won the Betfair Chase, King George and Cheltenham Gold Cup all in the same season to land the Triple Crown.
This also landed the yard a bonus £1 million from Betfair, who put the hefty sum on offer between 2005 and 2010 for any horse that won all three races.
JCR reintroduced the prize from 2015 and ever since Cue Card went close that very year - winning the first two but unfortunately falling at Prestbury Park - the races have been won by different horses ever since.
Nicky Henderson will go into this weekend hopeful his 2017 King George winner can secure leg 1 and repeat his heroics at Kempton on Boxing Day. He will then have to go one better in the Gold Cup in March.
You can get a best price of 12/1 the nine-year-old can do the unthinkable and follow in the footsteps of the legendary Kauto Star by claiming the Triple Crown. He will have to start with a big victory this weekend where he is made 11/10 favourite ahead of top class opposition in Native River, Bristol De Mai and Thistlecrack.
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek: 'Might Bite made a triumphant return to the racecourse after March's Gold Cup disappointment, and has such he is favoured in the market to his conqueror Native River.
'A whopping 67% of bets on the Triple Crown market this week have been on him, suggesting that he lost nothing in that defeat and can progress to be an all time great.'
