and what happened after showed how much of a good thing it was that day.
LOW KEY Jan 22nd 2014 at Kempton, as a 7yo landed a massive gamble, part of the Curley coup. off a mark of 65. has since won off 82 on the flat and 129 over hurdles. his previous 3 runs prior to Kempton, 7th of 7 beaten 90L at Southwell, 7th of 8 at Lingfield and 4th of 5 at Wolverhampton.
dropped from an initial 88 to 60, took a couple of years but one of the best laid out horses in recent years imo.
must be plenty others

Tara Colleen 7th December 1994, Lingfield.
Ran at Lingers 3 weeks before to see how she handled the kick-back. We were all on her next time and got backed from 10-1 into 9-4. Good ol' Con.
Tara Colleen ended up going to Norway with her ex super-model owner. Con's a boyo hehe.

Exponential slightly different breeding, i might be wrong but dont think it showed anything after that race, still a debate who was behind it, Veitch claiming it was him.
crosser was that laid out in a handicap, what mark what did it run to after.

Sendintank, almighty gamble landed 12 Jan 2004, ran off 50, won in November of the same year off 91
In the days before exchanges, early prices etc. to the mid 1960s. A horse called Caspian was bought cheaply unraced out of Noel Murless's stable and appeared in a maiden at Birmingham. The small trainer was virtually unknown and the horse was backed from 33/1 into 3/1 favourite and duly won by 5 lengths. And no I wasn't on.
CC that was a veitch i believe
bit before my time sparrow

I actually remember looking at the market all day for that race when the morning market was people used to actually bet all day on races on here, crazy stuff.
was at Ayr the day Dato Star won his bumper, around the 13/2 mark if i remember right, in hindsight what a bet that was.
I almost forgot it was 2 years after they had bought the horse.
as long as you make enough to cover your costs sparrow
Does anybody remember a horse at the Cheltenham festival who was backed from 25/1 to 9/2 , where the 7/4 favourite was as dead as a door nail
It's a long time ago now and my memory isn't what it used be.

Hunt Ball would be a recent "good thing" winning a handicap off 69 - backed into 6/4, not sure what price it would have been early doors.
Went on to win at the festival nearly twelve months later off 142 carrying 12 stone of Anthony's money.

Destriero wasn't trained by O Grady , it was Andy Geraghty
Saxon dont think Destriero was O Grady .Altho can recall he was owned by Noel Furlong who went for a monster coup as he also had Destriero doubled with a moderate horse cant recall its name that ran in the champion hurdle later in the day but totally out of its depth.
thanx 4 that lads.
sorry geoff my post was after i read it above, saying i remember it, take no credit in getting it right
no probs.
Halling landed a touch winning a Ripon hcap off low 70s before winning Cambridgeshire and following year beat Singspiel in the Eclipse.

Mentioned this Mare on another thread Tom - "Winnie The Witch" trained by the late Ken Bridgewater and ridden by his son David - ran and got beaten in sellers where they couldnt "Sell" her lol - anyway was mapped out for a race at Leicester off a mark of 91 where she duly dotted up after being bet in from 33s-11s .
She went onto win such races as the County Hurdle and Swinton in 91 with her highest OR being 148 - some "improvement" along the way lol - happy days

Dettoris final leg of the 7 was weight of running on money as opposed to someone landing a gamble with a horse that was clearly well in.

Light Veneer , trained by Merita Jones hacked up at warwick early 33/1
World Hurdle winner Cole Harden in a Sedgefield bumper 2/1 from 10/1 , trained by Brian storey
Golden Fire , Cesarewitch , trained by Doug Marks. Started at a decent price but a touch was landed.Jack Holt named his yard after the horse I believe.
Aahsaylad , John White , High Wycombe. 12/1 returned but a grand touch was had by connections. Cesarewitch some years ago.
I remember a horse trained by Dandy Nicholls called Samah being backed down from 25/1 to 7/2 that won a big Saturday hcap at Newmarket. No form at all. I'd been tipped it at 12s and thought no it was 25s , I've missed the boat so i should have got on then!!
flockton grey hard a very hard race aged overnight, 
off course what we dont no is if on any of these gambles had the money been down previous and gone astray
After reading all these posts, it appears to me that this horse racing sport is only licensed FLAPPING and the whole system needs changing if it is ever to become fair to all, instead of the privileged few.
Last years November H'cap winner Open Eagle.
Won at Redcar on the Tuesday, got a penalty to
get in the race.
12/1 - 15/2 DOM a genius!!
Paid for my house move!!

Texan Tycoon over hurdles ......the Legend that was Reg Akehurst...........25/1 into 5/2 fav horse shot off in the lead went 25lengths clear never saw another horse all the way round commentator saying he would come back to the field & gone off too fast no chance gamble landed job done.....oi oi
It wasnt that horse workrider, the horse im talking about was a bit earlier than that. It was early 80's alright but it definitely wasnt Forgive n forget, although that horse landed a tidy touch himself, it was nothing compared to the one i'm on about.

i knew he was running virgin, was going through the decs when i noticed it, why i started the thread.
loads of cracking examples, just shows that a few crackers were landed, although i take the point many may have been punted before and lost

Rachels Delight in the 80's.....backed from 14/1 first show into 4/1 at Wolves.
Long story but was not trained by David Morrill....as stated in the papers. Can't reveal the actual trainer. Yes, I was on plus involved in the planning of the gamble, needless to say won a right few quid.....Aahhh those were the days!!

Karl Burke trained Little Amin at Goodwood, landed a huge touch. literally everyone I knew was on at 20's.
About 35-40 years ago I was about 10 years old, and at (probably) Ripon with my dad and the place went wild about 4 minutes before the 6F selling handicap.
China Gold - I still recall the name was backed from 25/1 to 7/1 and duly won.
