Saubak created his own little piece of racing history in Pancetown on Tuesday, winning by a factor of 300-1. Prepared for the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the hurdles champion Connor O’Dwyer, on which his son Charlie rode, he did almost everything to escape the famous success.

Charlie O’Dwyer said: “He was in great shape at home and after the last two hurdles I came here thinking that if he could finish somewhere in the middle, I would be thrilled. The minute the flag fell, he was traveling well, and I couldn’t blame him for anything. He only came close to the latter, but made it easy enough. He likes this land, he is flat and ran to Dundalk. Land is not a problem for him. “
Coral reported that one player put 2 pounds in each direction to a four-year-old child who had been beaten in a total of 98 lengths in two previous attempts to overcome obstacles.

They clearly saw what others missed. “
