Four years ago today we were treated to a day of spectacular proportions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On this this day at the Christmas hurdle at Leopardstown, something went very, very wrong. Voler La Vedette ran home to take that race, but for most of the race \u00a321m was available to back at good odds. Nobody it seemed was\u00a0able to take all that money in-running however and ‘only’ \u00a31.6m was matched, meaning the loser would have to pay out a cool \u00a344.8m to the backers. That never happened though and a full explanation was never made, though I did I post a few plausible theories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everywhere went into meltdown that day.\u00a0For the full story you need to read the\u00a0full blog posts, but also the forum posts for the race.<\/a> I’ve listed them all for your enjoyment. It will be a day never to forget!<\/span><\/p>\n
