The Ebor Handicap Betting 2011
One of the highlights of the York Ebor meeting is the famous Ebor Handicap. For those that did not already know, the York Ebor Handicap is named after the shortened Roman word for York, Eboracum and was first run way back in 1943 and was called the ‘Great Ebor Handicap’.
Winner in 2009 was the Willie Mullins trained Sesenta who surprised everyone by winning with odds of 25/1. It is not normally a great race for favourites, with only three winning since 1991. Indeed punters will be interested to know that its the outsiders who seem to do better with two 25/1 winners in the last two years and a 100/1 winner (Mudawin) in 2006. One that could run a big race today is Modun who will go for Sir Michael Stoute, he has a good draw and with Richard Hughes on board he could be a major player.
