Hittite Glory’s Flying Childers is available to view on Youtube, which I believe is "trending" right now.

Ah no mate, the Tube’s
sooooooooo
last week!
Seriously, thanks for that. Fantastic footage – what a good horse Music Boy was, but went too fast for his own good that day. Here’s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P48cHcbfHF42003 KY Derby – Funny Cide (128/1)
Shouldn’t that be 128/10, IS?
John Dunlops, San Sebastian won the 2000 Cadran at 122/1 (beat Persian Punch).
Monsignor who won the 1999 festival bumper at 50/1 is the longest priced Grade 1 national hunt winner I can find.

Sorry, another muppet here trying to divert the thread. Isn’t 8-100 in betfair parlance simply 1.08?
Matthew asked…Why are you bothered? who cares?
That’s not very nice Matthew. If Pinza wants to know that’s all that matters. Now say you’re sorry, there’s a good boy.
no sorry Ken, Pinza knows very well that he has a dig at me’ quite often on here.
Anyway, the reason I said this was threads like this would bore the …. Out of the young racing crowd Cormack is trying to attract,
We want young, fun people on here rather than boring people
As an impartial observer generally you would seem to fall into the latter and ‘more harm than good’ category sir.

Just before I go for a soothing lie down in my coffin, I’d like to thank the (genuine!) contributors to this thread.
Personally, I think it’s something worth commenting on, when – as has emerged – we’ve just had the first 100-1 winner of a UK Group 1 for 35 years. That’s quite something!
I wonder if Sole Power will retain the crown for as long as Hittite Glory managed it? Fantastic!
Jacqueline Quest
was 100/1 in places in the morning for this years 1000 Guineas.
Okay, she was disqualified, but hey – she would have kept the race had it been held anywhere else in the country and we’ll never forget her.
I think Godolphin’s
Summoner
was available at 100/1 in the morning of the 2001 QEII before winning at 66/1 – the best ride ever given to a racehorse by the hapless Richard Hills.
Value hunters may also remember the guru of big priced Group winners, Clive Brittain, winning the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot with
Amfortas
at 66/1, backed in from 100/1 under the once-brilliant Brett Doyle. Wasn’t
Bold Arrangemen
t a massive price in the 1986 Kentucky Derby too? He also won the Falmouth four years ago with a 50/1 filly who I temporarily forget.
Hotbee
won the 1985 Molecomb at 100/1 but I can’t remember whether that was a Group 3 then.

Not to mention that the third, Piccadilly Filly, was also 100/1 lol
Carnage on BF?I think I dare suggest that anyone who isn’t interested in rare and remarkable events like 100-1 winners of Championship races is not really interested in horseracing………betting and trying to make a quick buck perhaps, but certainly not horseracing.
It is beyond question IMO whether it is an interesting question for racing fans of any age……nothing is anything without a sense of its history.
p.s Cheers mate.

Spot on Cav – misread the SP on the RP site. 12.8/1 as RFC would have it.
Not technically a Grade 1 but Miserable won the Grade 2 Prix Congress (the top Chase for 3yo Chasers in France) at a price of 70/1 in 2008.
2003 KY Derby – Funny Cide (128/1)
Nope, the odds were 12.80-1(or 13-1 on US toteboards). http://d3b4lt1s53xf6k.cloudfront.net/si … s/2003.pdfThe biggest longshot to win a KY Derby was Donerail at 92-1, in 1913. Canonero II in 1972 would’ve broke the record, but at he was part of "the field" and offered at 9-1 with 5 other horses in the wagering.
The infamous 1930 Travers gave Triple Crown winner Gallant Fox his only loss of the year, to 100-1 shot Jim Dandy. This was Jim Dandy’s only stakes victory, but the year before he won a 2yo race at Saratoga in similarly heavy conditions, at similar odds.

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood, but surely Norton’s Coin was a Grade 1 NH winner, and that was 100/1

Terimon….
..not quite, but better than
Ah, now you’re talking. Quite aside from that unmatched 500-1 Derby 2nd, one of my great favourites – not least the day he snatched a bite out of the seat of Steve Cauthen’s pants (on Citidancer) in the Earl of Sefton whilst scraping past to win at 20-1.
The old beggar was simply not going to be beaten by some upstart Henry Cecil hotpot!

I think you’re on to something there – probably scared silly he was going to be abducted from Newmarket, transported to Hong Kong and renamed Greysilk Shadow, or something else with an oriental twist.
Terimon once had the pleasure of reading his own, premature obituary (in 1995):

I hope he’s still with us, at the grand age of 24. Can anybody confirm that?
