History made as man beats horse | |
A man has won the annual Man versus Horse race for the first time in its 25-year history.
Crowds of spectators at Llanwrtyd Wells in mid Wales saw Huw Lobb pick up the £25,000 prize - until Saturday, one of the biggest unclaimed prizes in British athletics. He completed the 22-mile course in two hours, five minutes, and 19 seconds. Bookies William Hill had to pay out on scores of bets struck at odds of 16/1. | |
