THERE was utter disbelief at Goodwood as 1-33 Najidi Storm became the shortest-priced loser in British racing history.
The Harry Charlton-trained Juddmonte three-year-old colt was sent off ridiculously short odds under Lewis Edmunds.
But he was overturned in one of the sport’s greatest ever upsets by 10-1 Wreck It Ronnie in a three-runner race over 1m2f.
Najidi Storm, a full brother by Frankel to former St Leger winner St Logician, arrived at the Sussex track on the back of a promising debut win.
But he went into the record books for all the wrong reasons after getting bogged down in the rain-sodden ground.
The title of shortest-priced loser previously belonged to two horses, most recently the William Haggas-trained Doom.
He was turned over at 1-25 when ridden by Tom Marquand at Ripon in September 2023.
Doom jointly held the record with Royal Forest, who was beaten at the same odds at Ascot 78 years ago.
