Just to fill in. Motty was at Portsmouth in 2005 on Grand National day. He was known for his love of racing and Georgie asked him who he'd bet on. Motty had a few quid on Hedgehunter, so Bestie asked the steward to put this on the same horse for him. He pulled out a wad of notes and the steward backed the horse in the morning at 14/1. He gave him a grand to bet with!!
