According to Hayley O'Connor of Ladbrokes: "The initial results were unimaginably bad for us, and when we thought it couldn't get worse, we saw what we gave back to customers on our specials."
The company's money back specials cost them €1.7 million.
The heavily backed Ivanovich Gorbatov cost the bookmaker €385,000 on Friday, as they were refunding losing bets on the first race if the favourite won.
While victories for Un De Seaux and Josses Order resulted in €400,000 being refunded to customers.
"It seems even the losers were winners for the punters," O'Connor said.
