A Westmeath punter was put through a nail-biting wait before the result of a narrow photo finish delivered a five-figure win on the horses this week.
The customer struck it rich in their local BoyleSports shop by placing a €1 each-way accumulator and a €0.50 each-way Super Yankee on the same five horses at the Tuesday evening meeting at Kempton.
They only needed two of the five selections to win to ensure a return on their investment but things took a turn for the better when May Night (6/1), Mister Allegro (22/1), Myseven (6/4)and Calm Down (7/4) all won having been gambled into shorter prices.
That left 8/1 pick Mrs Benson to complete the coup, but a nervous photo finish was required before the judge handed her the race by a nose.
Our customer may have endured a very nervous finish to their ambitious wager, but it was all worth it in the end and we send huge congratulations to them on their big pay day.
