The record-breaking £570,000 horse was almost foot-perfect on his chase debut at Warwick. Coleman and McCoy stand next to Jonbon after his demolition job at WarwickCredit: PA But the Irish bookies are already down a 'sizeable five-figure sum' on the wonderhorse after paying out on him to win next March's Arkle before his fences bow. Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield admitted people thought they had jumped the gun massively by settling bets so early. Some punters won in the hundreds despite the potential for the horse to not even make it to Cheltenham should he get injured. But Binfield reckons it was a shrewd move with Jonbon now into 2-1 for Festival glory. He told Sun Racing: "Some people thought we'd gone bananas paying out on Jonbon on the back of a couple of videos before he'd even jumped a fence in anger in public. "But a lot of them won't be disagreeing with our decision now after watching that devastating performance."
