Punter bags over £20k betting on horse he bought drunk and gives 'interview of the year'

Jarrod bought a horse for £350 drunk at the Swan Hill racecourse in Australia. He placed a bet worth £115 on a 60-1 outsider Retrospection. The horse won and Jarrod gave a hilarious interview. Back in the UK, a £1 racehorse defied 200/1 odds to become joint-biggest priced flat winner in Britain. John Riches bought Astapor off Mick Channon for a pound. The 200-to-one outshot made racing history on Thursday by winning the 6f novice stakes at a meeting in Scotland. It made Astapor the joint biggest-priced winner on the Flat in UK since Racing Post records began.
