It looks like a lot of shops will be out of buisness tomorrow, especially the big bookies if we are led to believe them.
And with the desperate results at Cheltenham 4 favs winning its doom captain manwaring doom:
Bookies broke after McCoy National triumph
David Williams from Ladbr0kes bookmakers said: "McCoy's victory has cost us millions. We've feared this day for 15 years and our worst nightmares have just been realised. Punters never lost faith in the champ."
A year ago bookmakers were celebrating after the shock 100-1 success of Mon Mome, who by contrast fell in Saturday's race.
Williams said: "Twelve months ago we were on the champagne and now we're reduced to bread and water."
He estimated the betting industry in Britain would have lost £50 million on the race.
