Tuesday offers even worse racing tham Monday, which takes some doing. Our best bet yesterday Working Title won with Numide only finishing second, looking a tricky ride for Tony McCoy. I am struggling today so advise a play it safe double.
Tony McCoy has not been included again on BBC Sports Personality of the Year short-list. This is a total disgrace as McCoy broke the 3000 winner mark this year, a huge historic figure that no one has ever come close to matching. He has been Champion Jockey 13 times in succession and is simply the best we have ever seen. He has yet to win the National but otherwise has achieved all there is to achieve. The list is hardly brimming with world class Superstars. Sure Jenson Button will probably win it but the BBC have once again denied the racing public the chance to show their appreciation for Tony McCoy. A Joke in my view.
Rant over so what are we backing today?
