A punter is toasting an astounding windfall this week after they hit the jackpot at the Punchestown races and walked off richer to the tune of over €84,000.
The stunning turn of fortune began for the County Kildare native when they placed a simple €2.50 accumulator on their online account on Wednesday’s racing at the Punchestown Festival. They picked 7 horses and needed all to win to get anything back.
Within a flash, the wager had landed winners in the first four races, with Musical Slave (7/1), Zero Ten (13/8), Elimay (5/1) and Minella Indo (5/1) all obliging.
Ruby Walsh then signed off on his glittering career by steering Kemboy to success in the Punchestown Gold Cup, leaving one expectant punter just two races away from a mega bonanza.
The coup was complete when 11/2 selection Colreevy and 13/8 shot Gypsy Island won the 6.40 and 7.45 respectively, triggering scenes of jubilation in one Kildare household.
...that ensured the punter benefited from their horses winning at bigger prices than when they were picked out. A remarkable total of €84,651.33 was transferred into the account shortly after racing was wrapped up for the day.
We have no doubt that our big winner in Kildare will remember this day for a very long time and rightly so. To scoop over €84,000 from a flutter of just €2.50 is an absolute masterstroke, but they deserve every cent because not everyone can nail 7 winners on one racecard. We send them massive congratulations!
