Rory Delargy

Rory Delargy is a regular pundit on Timeform Radio. He first discovered National Hunt racing when watching Red Rum's 1977 Grand National as a raw five year old and was hooked by witnessing the likes of Sea Pigeon and Bird's Nest during hurdling's golden age. All time favourites include Spartan Missile, Diamond Edge, Ekbalco, Knock Hill, Combs Ditch, Door Latch and Dawn Run.

A short university stint, when he attended more Musselburgh meetings than lectures meant a career in betting beckoned. He spent eight years at Ladbrokes, latterly as Operations Manager before learning the finer points of betting at the feet of master punter Tony Bloom.
