125/1 and 100/1 winners stun punters in early St Stephen's Day races

There were two big shocks among the opening races on St Stephen's Day as 125/1 and 100/1 winners stunned punters.

Ballycallan Fame landed the first contest of the day very impressively as the 125/1 shot powered home to win by 23 lengths at Wetherby.

And less than half hour later Awkwafina (100/1) narrowly defeated odds-on favourite Palm Beach in the opening race at Limerick.

The results left punters scratching their heads as some took to social media to express their shock.

One person said: "Bloody hell first winner at Limerick is 100/1 and first winner at Wetherby is 125/1."

Another commented: "100/1 winner at Limerick and 125/1 at Wetherby. Hope that’s not how today goes for the punters lol."

Someone else added: "We’ve already seen a 100/1 and a 125/1 winner. Chaos."

One other person tweeted: "125/1 and 100/1 winners already - punters duck for cover."
