1.06 Ritz Plan when never within a few lengths
interesting...very interesting...oh look at his face just look at his face
Best part of £250 at 1000.0 is quite incredible
Ritz Plan stunk to high heaven and manages to get beat off a 250/1 and yet from probably one of the most corrupt jurisdictions in the world, i’m not surprised
watched it back (didn't bet race) - not sure how anyone would have risked 100 grand at any point there (but easy in hindsight)
It's Bobsled Time defied odds of 250/1 when winning the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Academy Hurdle at Naas.
Monday's third race on the Irish card saw the Richard Morrissey-trained three-year-old, owned by the Cool Runnings Syndicate, open his account at the third time of asking over timber, having been unplaced in a couple of starts at Cork during October and November.
The son of Telescope was towards the back of the field early but made good headway under jockey Michael Kenneally when bypassing the normal second-last flight (last two omitted due to low sun) and he stayed on strongly to beat 9/2 chance Ritz Plan by two and a quarter lengths. The 2/1 market leader O'Grady Cracker finished a well-beaten ninth.
It's Bobsled Time touched 500/1 in the show, returning a Betfair SP of 999/1, and he was County Waterford-based Morrissey's first winner under rules since the 2013/14 campaign.
Paddy Power spokesperson Paul Binfield said: "Hats off to those who backed It's Bobsled Time at Naas, and we did lay a few fivers and tenners at huge odds, but it was a winner in our book."
It's Bobsled Time is the joint-third longest-priced winner in Irish racing history after, just behind 300/1 winners He Knows No Fear (Leopardstown, August 2020) and Sawbuck (Punchestown, May 2022) who hold the record.
The longest-priced winner in Britain was Equinoctial, who overcame odds of 250/1 at Kelso in November 1990, while earlier this year the Richard Fahey-trained Powerful Glory became the longest-priced winner of a UK or Irish Group 1 race this century when landing the Champions Sprint on QIPCO British Champions Day.

Does this trainer like Big priced maiden hurdle placed horses? Could someone find out if possible? Sure, I've seen some of Nigel Hawke's placed at huge prices over the years and Win in Novice hurdles too.
Wasn't the first time I had seen Hawke as the trainer of the big priced winner.

300/1 winner Blowers sets new record at Exeter on Thursday..........
Blowers, trained by Nigel Hawke and ridden by James Best, became the first 300/1 winner in the modern era in Britain when scoring at Exeter on Thursday.
The son of Jack Hobbs was pulled-up on his debut under Rules earlier in the month, when sent off a similarly unconsidered 200/1 chance, but in gruelling conditions he toughed it out best to run out a three-quarter-length winner of the opening Pricedup.Bet Maiden Hurdle, seeing off 5/4 favourite On The Bayou in the process.
There have been a couple of 300/1 winners in Ireland but Equinoctial had set the previous UK record when defying monster odds of 250/1 at Kelso back in 1990, while Blowers' shock triumph comes just three days on from It's Bobsled Time winning at 250s at Naas on Monday.
Trainer Nigel Hawke said on Racing TV: "He's only had a couple of runs, he ran in a point at Larkhill and he's an absolute brute of a horse. His biggest problem is controlling him.
"Last time, poor Ella (Herbison, jockey), he just got a run on her really and he just did too much around Chepstow. It's great for Besty. The idea was that we've got to get this horse to settle.
"He's still a little bit green but has stayed on well. He just doesn't stop galloping. He's a Jack Hobbs horse, we've always though he was a nice horse if we could control him - that's why the 300/1.
"To be fair to everyone at the yard, they've done a great job and it is what it's all about."
Best said: "I got the call from a random number in the car and I didn't know who it was. But thank you for thinking of me to ride him. He was keen the last day so Nigel said, with the ground being testing, he was worried they might crawl.
"So we thought he might just relax better in front, but he was still very green with it, he was jumping out to his left a bit so I stayed middle-to-outer down the back. He's clearly handled the ground and got in a nice rhythm, so thank you to all connections.
"We've pulled well clear of the third. He's probably nearly 18 hands and looks a big National Hunt type. It's going to get more testing as the afternoon moves on but it's certainly very safe."
Merry Christmas ......Come Racing !
