100-1 outsider backed down to 8-1 and wins

Swing in betting shocks punters

Now this is the type of gamble i love to see come off for horse-racing punters.

Stuart Williams trained Exponential landed a huge gamble in the Wright Brothers Maiden Stakes at Nottingham when it was backed down from 100-1 to 8-1.

Although he had previously come last of 13 in his last time out, apparantly it wasn't wholly unexpected for his connections and justified the unlikely gamble.

Ladbrokes estimated their losses at £160,000 for the race - a huge amount for a small maiden race at Nottingham
