The seven-year-old took full advantage of evens favourite Jair du Cochet unseating his rider at the fourth from home to win by a distance.
The upshot is a smug bookie that goes home happy whether Man Utd wins at evens or Fulham come in at 200-1.
Even though the Essex Exocet was drawn against world number two Stephen Hendry in the semis, he was rather stingily priced before the match at evens to lift the crown.
It is simply - it is the difference between the asset consisting of a bookmaker's ticket which says, ‘You will get one dollar if a horse at evens wins’ and the value of 50 cents.
As short as 4/7 before the race, the champion was pushed out to evens by Irish bookmakers but only to 4/6 by no-risk, non-believers over here.
