Lucky punter wins over €80,000 from incredible horse racing bet

One lucky punter is over €80,000 richer after landing a sensational horse racing bet on Tuesday.

The bettor placed a £3 Lucky 15 on four horses running over jumps at Lingfield.

And the bet got off to an incredible start when 150/1 shot Ask Her Out defied the odds to win by a neck.

In the next race on the card, 18/1 shot Celtic Art won by half a length to keep the ball rolling for the punter.

But things got even better as Theyseekhimthere, who went off at 125/1, stayed on all the way to the line to win a novices' hurdle by a neck.

And although the punter's other selection, Mister Who, could only finished second, their three winning selections saw them pocket £77,215.80.

William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “One of our customers in Manchester must be delighted that it’s Jumps season, having correctly predicted three winners at Lingfield in a remarkable £3 Lucky 15.

“150/1 shot Ask Her Out set the bet up nicely, followed by Celtic Art winning at 18/1, Mister Who placing at 5/1 and 125/1 shot Theyseekhimthere winning by a neck. The ridiculous bet has netted them £77,215.80 and it’s certainly been a Tuesday they won’t forget.”
