    Following on from from her first win of 2010 yesterday (the second win of her career) Nora Looby maintained her good form at Redcar this afternoon and rode what I think is the longest price winner in the history of Betfair at the maximum price of 999/1 (pre off).

    Almost 700 quid matched at 1000 on the main Betfair exchange, 45 bet at 1000 on the SP product.

    No doubt a contrasting weekend for some of Betfair’s braver punters :|

    Theres not many people who can boast riding two horses in two days and winning on both at prices of 20/1 and 100/1. Fair play to her!

    The ride on Crianza was one of the better examples of ‘kidding a horse home’.

    I thought it was an example of a jockey that was fully aware the horse was having it’s third run but she was powerless to prevent it winning.

    According to http://www.gubbage.com/winners.php, the first 1000 winner on Betfair (pre-race) was Bermondsey Bob who won the 16:35 at Salisbury on 29-Aug-2008. BSP was also 1000.

    The more I see this lass ride, the more impressed I am.

    Tomorrow in the Haydock nightcap, she rides

    Magnitude

    one of ATR’s Formscan horses of the day, currently 18/1 on the exchanges, and ideally suited to prevailing conditions.

    Now, I’m not tipping the horse (as this is the wrong section), but I have a strong feeling the yard have booked the apprentice jockey with the most potential to do a job for them.

    She is definitely one to watch.
