Paddy Power Pays Out On Pink

Chief WAG Coleen McLoughlin left race-goers tickled pink yesterday (Friday) when she showed up at Aintree’s Ladies Day in a stylish pink dress, much to the delight of punters who piled on pink in the Paddy Power style stakes.

The cheeky bookie had been offering 6/1 that the mum-to-be would show up in a little baby pink number but it was more hot pink on the day for the Liverpudlian lass as she wowed the crowds with a flattering and flowing hot pink maxi dress.

There was plenty of support from Mrs. Rooney’s hometown of Merseyside with over €550 placed on the girly colour. The 6/1 fanciable odds on pink were chopped to 4/1, then 2/1 before settling at 6/4.

Betting on the colour of the fashionista’s frock cost Paddy Power a grand total of €2965.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Coleen looked absolutely blooming in pink. There were a lot of bets on the summery colour so maybe word got out in fashionable circles, but it could have been a lot worse. We’d say Coleen’s dress was worth more than what we had to pay out!”

All eyes will be on Chief WAG Coleen McLoughlin when she arrives in style for her Grand day out at Friday’s Aintree Ladies Day. A familiar face at Aintree, Coleen never fails to impress in the style stakes and once again bookies Paddy Power are betting on the colour of her dress.

But this year there’ll be more reason for race goers to stare as rumours continue to circulate that Liverpool’s most stylish Mrs is pregnant and the bookie is offering odds of 5/1 she dons baby blue and 6/1 she opts for baby pink. One of this season’s hottest colours – burnt orange – is the 3/1 favourite with the WAG favourite of white at 7/2.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Coleen is to Aintree what The Queen is to Royal Ascot – she’s the undisputed queen of fashion and whatever she dons on the day will be a huge talking point at the festival. Who knows, she might even give us a hint as to the sex of little Rooney!”

Hubby Wayne, who will sit out this weekend’s match away to Aston Villa is 2/1 to attend the Grand National with Coleen but the wrath of Fergie could prove too scary for the Man United forward with Paddy Power betting 1/3 he chooses to give the fine fillies a miss for one day! (more…)

In Australia, they say the Melbourne Cup stops a nation albeit even if it is just a glorified handicap. The Grand National, on the other hand, genuinely does stop a nation, if not nations. From housewives to experts to the dogs on the street, people from all walks of life will have a bet on the race. A four and a half mile stamina sapping slog over thirty fences at Aintree. It’s a test of endurance and jumping ability like none other in the equine world. While we’ll try and guide you to the winners, throwing a dart at the racecard with all the accuracy of Ken Doherty on the final black for a 147 would prove more effective. (NB one of the worst misses since Ray Parlour’s wife). If you fancy something but the big price scares you, all you have to do is remember the story of 100/1 shot Foinavon in 1966. Anything can happen in the race.

First run in 1836, the Grand National has become known as the greatest steeplechase in the world. This year’s renewal will be no different and the quality of the field is exemplary. Conditions and final declarations will play a major part in deciding who to back, but there are significant pointers already, not least Paul Nicholls’ claim that his principal charge My Will is in “great shape and we have had this race in mind for 18 months” while he also adds “He jumps and travels and has a touch of class.” A ringing endorsement for the current favourite that is probably giving most an ear ache. However, since 1982 there have only been 4 winning outright favourites of the race. Funnily enough, they all returned a starting price of 7/1. Last year’s joint-fav Comply or Die was also sent off at the same SP. Many people use peculiar logic to pick a winner, so deciding to back My Will if he touches sevens is as good as any.

With the removal of lat year’s runner up King John’s Castle (wouldn’t have won anyway as only two greys have ever won the race), the gambled on War of Attrition’s claims have significantly improved. Irish punters have backed the 2006 Gold Cup winner to land the spoils in Liverpool on the 4th of April and his trainer Mouse Morris is one of the shrewdest trainers in the business. He has bags of stamina but will need to stay out of trouble, like the rest of them. He’s a strong each way claim given the confidence behind him. Apart from Hedgehunter in 2005, no horse since 1984 has carried more than 11 stone to victory. Michael O’Leary’s 10 year old gelding, even after the final declaration stage will certainly carry over 11 stone. (more…)

The Grand National is England’s most prestigious horse race and one of the world’s greatest sporting spectacles. It’s the one event in the year that almost everyone has a bet on.

Wayne Rooney is 6/4 to enjoy his weekend suspension against Aston Villa by attending this year’s Grand National, according to bookie Paddy Power.

The Manchester United forward’s red card against Fulham last weekend means Rooney is now suspended for United’s next match – at home to Aston Villa on Grand National weekend – and having grown-up in the city of the annual Aintree spectacular Rooney is almost certain to be a fan of the big day. With his wife Coleen now also established face on the Aintree scene Rooney may well have his eye on joining his other half for the big day.

However the spectre of Alex Ferguson looms large and Paddy Power still thinks it more likely the Man United manager will prevent Rooney from capitalising on his red card at Craven Cottage by being seen out and about enjoying himself in public at such a crucial stage of the season.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Coleen will almost certainly be there as queen of the Liverpudlian WAGs but we think Fergie’s iron fist might rule out seeing Rooney at the races.”

Ireland’s largest bookmaker Paddy Power today announced it will be paying five places in the 2009 John Smith’s Grand National.

Last year’s Irish Grand National winner Hear The Echo remains inseparable from the JP McManus-owned Butler’s Cabin by the bookmaker in their Grand National betting.

Hear The Echo sprung a 33-1 surprise when romping home in the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National for Mouse Morris and Paddy Flood. Paddy Power have left the Michael O’Leary-owned 8-year old unchanged as their 14-1 joint-favourite as this year’s weights were released today.

Butler’s Cabin, who was travelling well when falling at the second Becher’s last year joins Hear The Echo at the top end of Paddy Power’s betting. Last year’s winner Comply Or Die is quoted at 18-1 with Powers. (more…)
