Surprise winner Shymkent stings minimum backers at Wetherby

>>There was a boilover in the opener at Wetherby when 15-2 chance Born To Be Alive was brushed aside by the rallying 50-1 outsider Shymkent after £5,399 had been matched at a low of 1.01 in running on Betfair.

The winner kept on strongly to sting layers who had matched him at a high of 600 when he was headed by the runner-up.

>>Backers who matched more than £9,000 on Midnight Cowboy at 1.01 on the run-in in the 2m4½f novice handicap chase at Kempton had a scare when the 2-1 favourite hung left and almost threw away victory.
