At Naas today
One of the longest-priced winners in Irish racing history prevailed at Naas on Monday as It’s Bobsled Time obliged at odds of 250-1.
Owned by the Cool Runnings Syndicate, It’s Bobsled Time had shown little in his first two outings in academy hurdles at Cork, beaten 50 and 61 lengths at odds of 150-1 and 250-1 respectively.
However, he took a huge step forward in a similar race under Michael Kenneally, who held him up off the pace and made his challenge up the inside of the field on a longer than usual run-in with the two hurdles in the straight omitted due to low sun.
Apparently it was 400/1 this morning
Was anyone lucky enough to be on?

This website is useful as the race results have the link to the news report and stewards reports below the race title. Horses mentioned in the stewards’ report have a green icon next to their name.
December 15, 2025 at 21:11 #1747657It’s always a bad sign when the trainer has no explanation for the horses’ improvement. It only ran three weeks ago in the same grade and was also conditional ridden.
Apparently it touched 400/1 or even 500/1 before the off. I doubt there were any euros placed on the horse. His dam won a bumper for Neil Mulholland back in 2020.
December 15, 2025 at 22:19 #1747666Hmmm … I wondered how Glengouly went off at 33s on Saturday given the high confidence of connections. I wonder if the money is going on at SP in the black markets in Asia?
December 15, 2025 at 22:34 #1747668Odd isn’t that all 200+/1 winners in Ireland bar one have been in the 2020s.
The more I know the less I understand.
December 15, 2025 at 22:38 #1747669Isn’t that because the official SP used to be determined by on course betting up until covid?

I believe that’s the case
December 18, 2025 at 16:10 #1747888If only horses could talk? Bobsled Time probably felt unwell in this last two races, but felt well in his third race. All punters know that horses make a fool of us all.
December 18, 2025 at 20:30 #1747921And Blowers today 300/1

December 18, 2025 at 23:52 #1747942Long shots do happen from time to time, but we can’t and probably best we don’t bet in every race or we would become bankrupt very soon.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.December 19, 2025 at 11:47 #1747957One of the good things to come out of Covid was the massive prices being offered on outsiders in maiden/novice races. Was it such a massive shock though? No runners from the top dozen yards in the UK on hock deep ground.
