Papillon the horse wasn't too shabby either

His most notable success was winning the 2000 Grand National.
Papillon had started the day with odds of 33–1 but was backed down to 10-1 by the time the race began, including me.
He was a first ever ride in the race for 20-year-old jockey Ruby Walsh, and was trained by Ruby's father Ted Walsh.
When Papillon crossed the finishing line to win the world's richest steeplechase he became an instant punters' favourite.
Papillon was retired at the end of the 2002/03 season, having earned his connections over £400,000 in win and place prize money.

"how do i look"    "you look great"

"Papillon had started the day with odds of 33–1...."

Not with Ladbrokes it wasn't!

Hills were 33/1 when the shops opened in the morning.
