Ladbrokes expect industry to be taken for half a million by Rhinestone Cowboy but want him to win!
Rhinestone Cowboy, after only four races over hurdles, is sitting pretty at the top of the Smurfit Champion Hurdle market at 5/2 with Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes has bet as follows over the course of this season:
17th November 2002 16/1 following a cool ride by JP Magnier in Cheltenham bumper
19th November 10/1 following a facile win in hurdle debut at Newbury
26th January 2003 8/1 as strong money comes in
1st February 6/1 following another confident win in Grade 2 Novice Hurdle at Wetherby
15th February 3/1 joint favourite with Intersky Falcon following Kingwell win
15th February 5/2 clear favourite as punters cannot take the 3/1 fast enough.
Balthazar Fabricius of Ladbrokes commented, "The industry will feel it should the Cowboy be first home shortly after 3:15pm on 11th March but as a firm this would be a fantastic result for us. We have followed this horse very closely from his debut hurdle win at Newbury and have always endeavoured to keep it on our side."
The full market is as follows:
