Sprinter Sacre 1-5 for Champion Chase - who’s codding whom?

Ladbrokes — and some of their pals — have to be taking the pee, if you will excuse my French.

After Sprinter Sacre won at Punchestown on Tuesday, they installed Nicky Henderson’s superstar as a 1-5 shot for next year’s two-mile Champion Chase at Cheltenham.

Imagine quoting a horse at such a price about a race that was all of eleven months away.
