Adam Kirby odds-on to complete hat-trick of all weather titles

Adam Kirby is the 4-7 favourite with Coral to be crowned champion all weather jockey for a third consecutive time, ahead of tomorrow’s start of the 2014/15 championship. Luke Morris is next in the betting at 7-2, ahead of George Baker at 14-1, and Joe Fanning, 16-1.

“Richard Hughes was not the only jockey seeking a hat-trick of title wins this year, and the betting suggests Adam Kirby will complete his own personal treble on the all weather over the coming months, with Luke Morris likely to run him closest,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

Looking ahead to next year’s Good Friday finals day, Farraaj and last year’s winner Grandeur are the sponsor’s 6-1 joint favourites for the Coral Easter Classic, while Stepper Point heads the market for the All Weather Sprint Championship at 10-1.

“The opening card of the second All Weather Championships sees almost 100 runners in action at Lingfield, and with many of the biggest yards represented, the meeting has the quality to go with the quantity, which is exactly what we hoped this initiative would deliver, and one of the reasons why we have extended our sponsorship to a second season,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
