More Of That foils massive Power gamble

A massive gamble went astray on Willie Mullins’ Annie Power, after the mare failed to get to grips with Jonjo O’Neill’s More Of That, brilliantly ridden by Barry Geraghty, in the Ladbrokes’ World Hurdle at Cheltenham yesterday.

There are those who believe jockeys are the worst judges in the world and certainly this is a race Tony McCoy will not look back on with any great relish.

He could have ridden the winner, but instead went with JP McManus’ other runner, At Fishers Cross, who finished a well-beaten third.
