A racehorse with an X-rated name has triumphed despite an odds rating of 150-1. The horse, with the bizarre name of Sh**a Bed, took part in a race in Tokyo, Japan and the three-year-old was introduced at a three-figure price. But Jockey Shouhei Takahashi defied the odds and won by half a length in what was an unlikely victory.
Nearly two years after his last triumph, the thoroughbred claimed another victory after two third-place finishes and a runner-up during that period. The victory means the horse has managed to wipe the slate clean and there could well be more victories in the future.
Understandably plenty of punters picked up on the naughty name after it won at incredible odds. "Nearly as good as the greyhound called Puma Pants," one said.
