NOVELTY BETTING: Charity single “Cheltenham”, a remix of “Downtown” is 33/1 with Ladbrokes to top the UK charts and 3/1 to make it into the Top Ten
And with the bookies expecting to see the “Downtown” remix capture the imagination of music and racing enthusiasts alike, Ladbrokes are offering prices on career changes for some of the ‘musicians’ involved.
John McCririck has been chalked up at 500/1 to be Simon Cowell’s next recruit as an X Factor judge and jockey Tony McCoy is the same price to be nominated for Best Male at the 2010 Brit Awards.
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “Petula Clarke only reached number two but with the weight of McCririck and the class of McCoy on hand we’re on red alert for Cheltenham to go one better than Downtown.”
