Here’s how one Kerry woman turned €7 into €20,000 in an afternoon

JOE

What can you buy with €7?

A coffee and a sandwich? Perhaps even a pint in a Temple Bar pub?

One lady in Tralee used her €7 to put a horseracing accumulator on and ended up winning almost €20,000.

Her five selections raced on a miserable Saturday at three race tracks across Britain but interestingly, the two biggest price selections of the Tralee native’s picks were trained by women called Kerry and Rose.

Hayley O’Connor of Ladbrokes said: “Coincidence or stroke of genius? Who knows, but hats off to her. Whether she’s a form buff or Rose of Tralee fan, it’s paid off!”

Her accumulator consisted of the following selections:

Yala Enki in the 13.15 at Ascot at odds of 2/1 trained by Venetia Williams.

Vyta Du Roc in the 13.50 at Ascot at odds of 100/30 trained by Nicky Henderson.

Bishops Road in the 14.40 at Haydock at odds of 8/1 trained by Kerry Lee.

Jonniesofa in the 16.25 at Haydock at odds of 8/1 trained by Rose Dobbin.

Gala Ball in the 17.05 at Wincanton at odds of 11/10 trained by Philip Hobbs.

Stake: €7  Winnings: €19646.55

We’re off to Tralee to ask random ladies for horseracing tips…
