How often does a 50/1 shot win a British or Irish race?

In the full years 2005 to 2025, between 41 (2015) and 114 (2021) horses a year won British or Irish races at a starting price of 50/1 or longer; 63 have in 2026, to 28 October 2026.

4 horses have won at 300/1, the longest price in our archive; the first was He Knows No Fear (IRE), in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Leopardstown on 13 August 2020.

Does Kickthebookies say which outsiders will win?

No. This page records the horses that won at 50/1 or longer, after the event, with the race, the trainer and the jockey. It is a record, not a selection, and nothing on it is advice to bet.

Where do the prices come from?

From the official starting price returned for each race and stored in our archive. A winner without a valid starting price is not listed, and a dead heat lists both horses.

Why 50/1?

It is a round line that punters recognise: a starting price of 50/1 is decimal odds of 51.0, and every winner at that price or longer is on the page.
