According to Wiki he was 11/4.

I think he was 7/2 another time.

One of the reasons I remember Freddie was because we used to trek across to my granda's house to watch the race (we didn't have a telly) and my dad would get us to pick one each and he'd put 6d on it for us. I vaguely recall being clueless (plus ça change...) and him saying, "Freddie will win," so I went for that not realising that 3d ew would probably only have returned 1/4d had it won and I don't think I ever saw the 5d that the place money would have returned.
