History Made with 300-1 Winner at Exeter
Blowers won the pricedup.bet Maiden Hurdle at 300-1 odds, setting a UK record for longest-priced winner by narrowly beating the 5-4 favourite On The Bayou.
- On Thursday, Blowers won the pricedup.bet Maiden Hurdle at Exeter Racecourse at 300-1, ridden by James Best and trained by Nigel Hawke.
- Sodden ground and heavy rain set the scene for the pricedup.bet Maiden Hurdle as officials at the meeting abandoned Exeter Racecourse after five races; Blowers had limited form, trailing in a Larkhill point-to-point and pulled up at 200-1 on his Chepstow rules debut.
- Coral reported 82 bets on Blowers, with the biggest a 2 each-way single, after James Best rode as a late substitute when Ella Herbison missed her flight.
- Blowers’ triumph eclipses the previous 250-1 British record and joins rare Irish 300-1 winners Sawbuck and He Knows No Fear, edging out Harry Fry’s 5/4 favourite On The Bayou.
- Hawke predicted `He definitely won’t be 300-1 next time.` after admitting `I wish, I wish, I wish!`, as owners Mr and Mrs Pudd celebrate a homebred victory adding to Exeter’s landmarks including a 1.45 million Tote Jackpot.
