Trained by Clive Cox, Nando Parrado was steered home by jockey Adam Kirby.

"The price was a shock. He is a proper horse and we loved him from the start," Cox said.

The previous record was set in 1990 when 100-1 outsider Fox Chapel won the Britannia Stakes. Flashmans Papers was also a 100-1 shot when winning at the iconic meeting in 2008.
