A 300-1 shot at Kelso has equalled the UK racing record for longest-priced winner.
Making her British debut in the two-mile novice hurdle after two bumper runs in Ireland, Crokes Cross finished strongly under Jamie Hamilton to earn trainer Stuart Coltherd his first success of the season in spectacular fashion.
Stablemate Changemyluck (5-2) was a length and a quarter back in second place in the 10-horse race.
It was only in December when the Nigel Hawke-trained Blowers won at the same price at Exeter, beating the previous record of 250-1, set by Equinoctial in 1990 – also at Kelso.
Coltherd told Racing TV: “I never had a penny on. I wish I had!
“I knew they were both fit and I fancied them both to run well. I thought Changemyluck would be there or thereabouts, but Crokes Cross has done it well.
“I couldn’t say what has been going wrong. We just had horses maybe too high in the handicap. We had lots placed, they just weren’t getting their head in front.
“If I knew it was going to change today, I might have had a couple of pounds on! It’s good for everybody to get another winner.
“When they were going down and I saw she was 300-1, I did think that was a huge price as she works well at home – it’s too late now.”
