One fortunate punter from Co. Cork struck gold on the final day of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, turning a modest €2 Each Way Yankee into a staggering €23,115.82 payout.
A massive portion of the winnings, €5,579.09, came from BoyleSports' Best Odds Guaranteed offer, as two of the bettor's selections started at bigger prices than when initially backed.
How One Punter Turned A €2 EW Yankee Into A €23K Cheltenham Windfall
The winning bet kicked off with Kargese in the 14:00 County Hurdle. The selection justified its 3/1 odds by delivering a strong performance to claim victory.
The momentum continued in the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup at 16:00. The punter had backed Inothewayurthinkin at 6/1, but the horse drifted to 15/2 before the off. In a sensational display, Inothewayurthinkin stormed to victory, defeating the heavily backed odds-on favourite, Galopin Des Champs, and securing the second leg of the Yankee.
The third selection, Wonderwall, lined up in the 16:40 Hunters Chase at a hefty 25/1. By the time the race started, the odds had drifted to 28/1, but that didn’t deter this gutsy outsider from producing a shock result, sealing the third win for the Cork punter.
It all came down to the final race of the festival, the 17:20 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle. The punter’s hopes rested on Wodhooh, a 6/1 shot, and the horse didn’t disappoint. Under the guidance of jockey Danny Gilligan, Wodhooh stormed home by an impressive 4 1/4 lengths to complete a perfect 4/4 Yankee, triggering an unforgettable jackpot payout.
This incredible win capped off an unforgettable Cheltenham week, proving that with the right selections, even a small stake can yield life-changing rewards.
