Ladbrokes issue betting specials with Irish theme Ladbrokes have priced up a number of markets with an Irish interest. They quote Ruby Walsh at 2/1 to ride the winner of any Grand National this season (Irish, English, Scottish or Welsh) which would appear tempting considering his record. How many jockeys will ride 50 or more winner in the 2009/2010 Irish National Hunt season: 5 or less 2/1; 6 exactly 6/4; 7 or more 6/4. Ruby Walsh has already passed that particular milestone this season and a total of six riders completed the half-century last season. Ladbrokes go 3/1 an Irish trained winner of the Aintree Grand National which looks short at this early stage considering they currently bet 20/1 the field. They also bet 10/1 against a JP McManus owned winner of the Aintree Grand National.
