Outrageous punter won £11million after jockey's cheeky remark dared him to bet huge on horse

Outrageous punter won £11million after jockey dared him to bet huge on horse. Legendary Australian jockeying legend Greg Hall has recalled his tetchy encounter with late media mogul Kerry Packer at the 1993 Victoria Derby at Flemington racecourse Down Under.

Hall dared Packer to bet big on Mahogany. Hall steered Mahoogian to a seven-length victory at odds of 9-2. Lloyd Williams bet another $3 million on the horse.

Packer won £11m after jockey dared him to bet huge on horse. He named the Mahogany Room at his Crown Casino in honour of the horse, which he later named after him.

Packer spent $2.5m to ensure every ambulance was fitted with a special ambulance. Darren Yates used his last £62 to build a property and development empire and pocketed the half million winnings after Dettori rode his legendary Magnificent Seven at Ascot in 1996.
