MCCOY MONEY SHORTENS CAN’T BUY TIME IN THE NATIONAL!
The news that Tony McCoy will partner either Don’t Push It or Can’t Buy Time has provoked strong money for the younger of the Jonjo O’Neill-trained pair – with Can’t Buy Time cut to 16-1 from 25-1 with William Hill this morning.
Tony McCoy Grand National 2010
Last seen out finishing sixth behind 7-1 Grand National favourite Big Fella Thanks – Can’t buy Time raced in last year’s National renewal – parting company with Noel Fehilly at the start of the second circuit.
It will be a fifteenth attempt Grand National ride for National Hunt Racing’s greatest ever jockey – who is still pursuing an elusive first win in the famous handicap.
Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: ‘’Logic and money suggests that AP will err towards Can’t Buy Time as his National mount – but he does not immediately spring as an obvious candidate to break McCoy’s run of bad luck in the race.’’
Others to attract money in recent days include Arbour Supreme – now 14-1 from 25-1 five days ago – Whinstone Boy – whose soft-ground credentials have induced support, and Irish raiders Black Apalachi (14-1 from 16-1), and Snowy Morning (20-1 from 25-1).
