When the first two produce an extraordinary return
This reference brings together high-value computer straight forecast (CSF) and Tote Exacta dividends from races held in the United Kingdom. Both require the winner and runner-up in the correct order, but their settlement methods differ, so they are ranked in separate tables.
Entry threshold: 1,000/1 profit equivalent means a total return of £1,001 or more for a £1 winning unit, including the stake. A £1,000 dividend is equivalent to 999/1 and does not qualify. Horse SPs are included as context; they are not multiplied to calculate the dividends.

How records qualify
- UK races only: qualification depends on where the race was run, not where a horse was bred or trained. Republic of Ireland and overseas races are excluded.
- Single-race returns: only a straight winning forecast or Exacta unit is compared. Forecast doubles, accumulators, combination-bet total payouts and personal winnings are excluded.
- Threshold: a published £1 dividend of at least £1,001.00, equivalent to a profit of £1,000 or more on that £1 unit.
- Separate products: a race can appear in both tables if both dividends qualify. Only the qualifying product appears when the other falls below the threshold.
- Ranking: nominal sterling dividends, highest first, without inflation adjustment. “Largest listed” describes this archive, not an independently certified national record.
- Sources: historical result pages are linked beside each dividend. Some publishers use shared race-data feeds, so agreement is corroboration rather than proof of independent data collection.
- Times and codes: scheduled race times are shown in UK local time. Flat = turf Flat racing; NH = National Hunt, including bumpers; AW = All-Weather Flat racing.
Why a low-priced winner can appear: Liberman won the 2003 Champion Bumper at 2/1, but runner-up Trabolgan was 50/1. The published Exacta was £1,149.50; it qualifies even though neither horse was a 1,000/1 win selection.
Straight forecast or Exacta: what is the difference?
Computer straight forecast (CSF)
A straight forecast requires your first selection to win and your second to finish runner-up. The industry CSF dividend is calculated after the race and used by bookmakers for relevant settlement. It is not the product of the horses’ individual starting prices.
Betfred’s forecast settlement rules explain settlement at the Computer Straight Forecast return.
Tote Exacta
The Tote Exacta also requires first and second in order, but it is a pool bet. Its dividend depends on the money available for distribution and the winning units. The same finishing order can pay more or less than the CSF.
What does “profit equivalent” mean?
Subtract the £1 stake from the published £1 dividend to express the net return as a ratio. A £1,001 dividend is a £1,000 profit and is equivalent to 1,000/1. A £2,007.95 dividend is equivalent to 2,006.95/1. This is a comparison after settlement, not an advance fixed-odds quote.
Does a reverse forecast qualify?
The published straight winning dividend can qualify. A reverse forecast covers two orders and therefore costs two units; its total stake must not be confused with the one-unit dividend used here.
Can this archive grow?
Yes. New historical entries can be added when a supporting published dividend is located. Send the date, UK course, race, winner, runner-up, bet type, £1 dividend and source to admin@tipsterchallenge.com.
