RIPON on a Monday night is normally a quiet affair – but one punter managed to change his life with a huge win at the racecourse.
The William Hill customer – who wishes to remain anonymous – turned £8 into a whopping £74,337.27 as he went through the card picking all six winners.
First up was James Tate's Under The Stars who notched up an easy win finishing three lengths clear of the rest of the field to get the accumulator rolling.
Then Ascot Week caused a shock in the second at 10-1 before Just Hubert struck at 2-1 in the third.
The punter would have already been feeling pretty nervous with his £4 each-way accumulator halfway there.
7-4 shot Sameem continued the winners before the lucky customer picked out 16-1 shot Pinarella in the fifth race on the card.
The customer had an easy ride of it in the final race of the day as Stagehand ran out a smooth winner of the lucky last and handed the punter a huge payout.
William Hill spokeman Rupert Adams said: "The customer (who wishes to remain anonymous) appears to have regular success on the horses, although nothing to compare to this win."
