The loss of all jumps action due to the cold snap switched the focus of attention on Channel 4 racing on Saturday to Tony McCoy’s bid to be crowned the 2010 BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday night.

The 15-times champion jump jockey was the special guest on the Morning Line and his appearance has seen his odds harden into 4/6 from 4-5 with Sky Bet to become the first jockey to win the award.

Matt Doyle of Sky Bet told Bettingpro: ‘The whole of the racing industry is behind AP and if he is ever going to win this award it will be this year as his Grand National winning ride on Don’t Push It in the world’s most famous race will resonate more with the wider public.’

The voting lines open at 7pm tonight and Sky Bet are also offering forecast betting on the outcome and a straight match bet with McCoy 4/6 to see off the rest of the ten-runner field at 11/10.

In their betting without McCoy market, Sky Bet make golfer and outright 7/2 next best Graeme McDowell their 6/4 favourite to be honoured with overall runner-up spot following his Ryder Cup heroics.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2010, Sky Bet odds:

4/6 (from 4/5) AP McCoy, 7/2 G McDowell, 10/1 P Taylor, A Williams, 14/1 L Westwood, 18/1 G Swann, 20/1 J Ennis, 40/1 T Daley, 50/1 D Haye, 80/1 M Cavendish

Straight match bet BBC SPOTY: 4/6 AP McCoy v 11/10 Rest of field

Winner w/o McCoy:

6/4 G McDowell, 4/1 P Taylor, 5/1 A Williams, 7/1 L Westwood, 8/1 G Swann, 12/1 J Ennis, 22/1 T Daley, 28/1 D Haye, 40/1 M Cavendish
