Powerful Glory made racing history with a huge upset to triumph on British Champions Day at Ascot at odds of 200-1.
The outsider, ridden by Jamie Spencer for trainer Richard Fahey, beat the 2-1 favourite Lazzat into second in the Champions Sprint Stakes.
Powerful Glory is the longest-priced winner of a top-level British Group One race, coming three months after Qirat set a new record by winning the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood at 150-1.
Spencer came with a late surge on his mount to triumph on Britain’s richest race day, with 66-1 shot Quinault third in the 19-runner contest.
Powerful Glory had been well-beaten in his two previous races this season, although had won on both starts last year.
The victor, owned by Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum, earns nearly £320,000 on a day which boasts overall prize money of £4.35m.
Three of the world’s top horses – Ombudsman, Delacroix and Calandagan – meet in the Champion Stakes at 16:05 BST.
Earlier, Trawlerman beat stablemate Sweet William in a Long Distance Cup one-two for trainers John and Thady Gosden.
