A lucky bettor has cashed in on a substantial win of over £15,000 from what can be described as the ideal scenario for any horse racing enthusiast. The individual, who is a customer at William Hill, carefully selected four horses to form a four-fold accumulator during the race meetings held on Thursday at Leicester and Chepstow. The total wager placed on this bet was £20, with £10 allocated to each-way betting.
The initial pick, Honrado, triumphed at Leicester with odds of 11-2, despite a last-minute change in jockeys due to Hollie Doyle’s injury, leading to Matthew Lloyd Salter stepping in with a 7lb claim.
In the subsequent race, Due Date, trained by Charlie Wallis, secured victory at 8-1 with jockey Rob Hornby taking the lead throughout the race.
The winning streak continued as Cape Flora, under the guidance of Rob Havlin for the John & Thady Gosden stable, comfortably crossed the finish line at Leicester, making it three wins for the bettor. Cape Flora, backed at 4-1, dominated the race, winning by an impressive six lengths.
The final horse, Spirit Of The Bay, trained by John & Rhys Flint, was the ultimate decider of the bet. Despite some tense moments, the mare held on to win by a narrow margin under Luke Morris’s guidance.
At odds of 3-1, Spirit Of The Bay sealed the victory, resulting in a significant payout of £15,413 for the bettor. Additionally, thanks to Hill’s Best Odds Guaranteed feature, an extra £3,539 was added to the total winnings.
Lee Phelps, a spokesperson for William Hill, commented, stating, “This win embodies the dream of every horse racing enthusiast – an impressive return from a modest each-way bet, resulting in a substantial reward exceeding £15,000.
“Not only did the bettor secure a four-fold accumulator, but with the added boost from Best Odds Guaranteed, their winnings were further increased by over £3,500. This victory highlights the exceptional skill of this punter in selecting winning horses.
