Wish I'd seen this thread - or a paper - on Friday morning.
I've backed a horse just about every time it's run over the past three years. The last time I missed it, it won at 20/1

and I was looking for it on Saturday's ABC check when I glanced up at the results from Friday and saw its name.
Celtic Mill, winner of the 4.25 at York, at 8/1.
I reckon I'm more gutted about that race than you are.
Still, I've won quite a bit on the horse over the years, so despite missing out on 20/1 and 8/1 wins, it 'owes' me nothing.
Edited to add: Just checked, and it now has 16 wins and 12 places from 67 races. One to look out for
