RACING:LIGHTS OF Broadway provided a shock 200 to 1 winner for trainer Jo Hughes at Taunton yesterday.
The winner was ridden by Mark Grant and beat 50 to 1 shot Wishes And Stars into second, with 33 to 1 chance Fortuna Rose in third.
“I’m not a gambler, but I did think she was capable of running well and the better ground and the shorter trip have helped,” said Hughes.
Grant added: “They have always liked her at home and maybe she’s got a bit stronger now.”

The British record is still held by Equinoctial who won at Kelso in 1990 at the bumper odds of 250 to 1.
