999-1 Winner at Warwick

There was extraordinary in-running action at Warwick today at Betfair. £232 was matched on the winner Xila Fontenailles at 1000 in the 2m 5f Handicap Hurdle. The Nigel Hawke-trained bottom weight seemed to have thrown away a winning lead when Iron Maid went past her late on the run-in, but Xila Fontenailles rallied to reward the big-priced backers. Over £15,000 was matched on the runner-up at 1.01.
