    Going back a bit here, but in 1993 Creche drifted from 6/4(I think) to 11/1 and made all.

    Anything to rival that shocking winning drift?

    Wasn’t that a Kicking King type deal though?

    I’ve a vague memory of one about 4-5 years ago…someone I know backed it at 7/2 I think and it won at 25’s and he wasn’t on b.o.g either! Something in the back of my mind saying it was trained by Brian Ellison…could be wrong though?

    A horse called Velator was having his first start over 3 miles and I backed it at 5/2 in shop.

    Ended up winning at 10/1.

    Poor ol’ Velator, I think he was the most disinterested horse I’ve ever seen walking around a pre-parade or paddock.

    Too long ago for me to verify any details but remember a horse called Stanstead or Stansted drifting from warm favoritism to 25-1 in quick time and winning.

    Never saw him parading. Hope he’s okay, hasn’t raced since tailed off.

    Shocked he’s only 9!
