Five greatest winning bets in horse racing history including the punter who won £450,000 while being dumped by his date

SunSport runs through the five greatest winning bets in horse racing history. One punter won £450,000 while being dumped by his date.

Kenny Morgan's date dumped him as they watched the Melbourne Cup in 2019. Kenny had just lost £10 on the big race. He won £450,000 from just £ 10. He bet on which four horses would finish first, second, third and fourth.

Kenny had a huge windfall and he couldn't shake her. He refused to reply to her texts the next day. Kenny wouldn't go on another date with her but he has no ill feelings towards her and hopes she finds what she's looking for.

Brenda Reagan found Chris' lost bet slip from the 2005 Kentucky Derby. She found it the next day. Chris won £630,000. He couldn't believe he lost this once in a lifetime payday. It was unbelievable. The story has a happy ending.  It's a story about a punter who won a lot of money while being dumped by his date.

A punter in Australia accidentally won £350,000 on a quinella bet. He mistakenly added an extra zero to the end of his stake. He had bet around £35,00 on horses.

Conor Murphy won £1.2m from a £50 accumulator after picking five of Nicky Henderson's horses to win at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival. He later moved to America and set up his own successful yard.

In 2008 a William Hill customer placed a two million to one bet on an eight-horse accumulator and won £450,000. The next day he placed another 50p bet and collected the money from another shop. The first winner was called Isn't That Lucky and the last one was named A Dream Come True.
