Najidi Storm's loss has sparked significant financial losses for bookmakers, with some claiming they failed to make money from the unexpected outcome.
Najidi Storm, a half-brother to a winner of the St Leger, became the shortest-priced loser in British racing history after being beaten by Wreck It Ronnie in the Cleansing Service Group Novice Stakes at Goodwood.
Najidi Storm had been heavily favored to win at odds of 1-33, but the aptly named Wreck It Ronnie, who had been beaten a combined 22 and a half lengths in his previous outings, made virtually all the running and could not be caught by the favorite. This loss has caused significant financial losses for bookmakers, with some claiming they failed to make money from the unexpected outcome.
The previous record for the shortest-priced loser was jointly held by Doom and Royal Forest, who were both beaten at odds of 1-25.
