William Haggas' Doom was beaten at 1/25 at Ripon on Tuesday - making her the shortest-priced loser in the UK since 1948.
Just two runners lined up for the William Hill Ripon Champion Bonus 2023 Maiden Fillies' Stakes, Doom, an 82-rated daughter of Dubawi having her fifth start, and the Karl Burke-trained newcomer, Karmology.
£407,000 of the £451,000 matched on the Betfair Exchange on the race was on the 1/25 favourite, who also burnt the fingers of in-running punters after £11,000 was matched at 1.01 during the race.
Karmology (SP 9/1) was matched at 110 but got up to win by a length.
Royal Forest, another 1/25 shot who was second at Ascot in September 1948, has held the shortest-priced beaten horse record alone for 75 years, but now he shares the burden with Doom.
Tree Of Liberty was beaten at 1/20 at Ludlow in 2018, with Triple Dip beaten at the same price at Lingfield in 2015.

Reaction from winning trainer
Burke told Sky Sports Racing: “She’s a nice filly but she’s a work in progress, very much one for next year over a longer trip.
“I really only entered her for the race because it was on our doorstep and there wasn’t many entries.
“I said to the owners there were no races over a mile and a quarter for her until the end of the month so we may as well run for the education.
“I think all the Newmarket trainers, apart from William, must have had a late night and never followed the (declaration) tracking so it worked out really well.”
