UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Crokes Cross Stuns at Kelso, Wins £1500 Bet. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.

On April 3rd, Crokes Cross just pulled off a massive upset at Kelso, winning a two-mile novice hurdle at 300 to 1 odds, tying the UK. Record for the longest price victor, Jockey Jamie Hamilton guided her to victory by a length and a quarter over her own stablemate. Trainer Stewart Colterd, from the Scottish borders, entered both horses but skipped betting this time around. He admits he usually throws a 5-pound or 10-pound note on his runners for fun. He's kicking himself now, calling it a lesson learned after a string of close calls without a win since March 2025. He heard about punters who struck gold, like one who meant to back the favorite but accidentally picked Crokes Cross and pocketed 1,000-5, 100 pounds. Bookmakers at Ladbrokes noted just a handful of bets on her, with the biggest payout hitting 1,800 pounds from a 5-pound. Each way wager. He matches blowers from Exeter last December, topping the old 250-1 mark set back in 1990.

Racing's full of these twists, proving even the rank outsiders can steal the show and leave trainers wishing they'd risked a little something.
