The televised leaders’ debate confirmed the general election is a two-hour race, the Conservatives claimed.
Scottish party leader Ruth Davidson joined punters at Musselburgh race course yesterday with a board showing the odds for all the party leaders.
According to Ladbrokes David Cameron is 4/5 favourite to be the next prime minister, followed by Labour leader Ed Miliband at evens.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage managed just 66/1 while Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg came in at 200/1.
Ms Davidson said: “Last night’s debate may have been between seven leaders but the truth is that only two of them stand a chance of getting into Downing Street.
“Our next prime minister will either be Ed Miliband or David Cameron. That is the basic choice people face. And the fact is that when asked to choose between the two, most Scots prefer the prime minister.
“And it is not hard to see why – David Cameron has shown strength and resilience; turning the economy around and getting Britain’s finances back on track.
“A return to Labour’s economic mess – made worse by having the SNP in saddle, pulling the reins – would undo all that hard work, racking up huge bills on our country’s credit card and expecting them to be paid by our children and grandchildren.”
She added: “Ed Miliband isn’t even at the races, so I know who my money is on.”
