2008 Flat Jockeys Championship - Callan - 7pts win



The current standings of the Flat Jockeys Chamionship are detailed above (taken from http://www.jagb.co.uk):

I'm suprised to see the betting so lopsided. The current betting is:

Ryan Moore 4-11
Seb Sanders 5-1
Jamie Spencer 6-1
Neil Callan 16-1

Ryan Moore is the rightful favourite, but I don't think he should be as short at 4/11. The are always possibilities of long term injuries/bans or he could simply have an extended 'dry patch'. If any of these happen, I'd make Callan as likley as anyone else to take the title. His strike rate is similar to other jockeys and he gets more rides. I've therefore had the following bets:

2pts @ 25-1 Ladbrokes (Max allowed)
1pts @ 16-1 Stan James (Max allowed)
4pts @ 16-1 Victor Chandler
