Is this a first?

Just traded the 14:30 at Folkstone and the favourite was George Baker, ridden by, George Baker! George is a good jockey he just can’t get enough rides due to his height and therefore weight.

Curiously the race was won by another name, Huygens, no namesake jockey there though. The famous Huygens died in 1695. That would have been a first!

Huygens is reckoned to have written the first book on probability theory in 1657 but also is credited with discovering rings around Saturn. The NASA mission named Cassini-Huygens is one of the most successful and fascinating in recent times.

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
