The Jukebox Man was leading for much of the final stretch of the race until Stellar Story made a sensational comeback to snatch first place.
Redknapp stood to win £75,965 for coming in first place.
However, coming in second means he lost almost £50,000, with second place only being awarded £28,620.
Punters thought the former Tottenham bosses 18-1 horse was nailed on, with over £4,000 matched on him at 1.03pm.
But 119-1 Stellar Story rocked the apple cart with the dramatic finish.
Redknapp was seen on video getting ready to cheer before the sudden change of leader.
