Fair play to him.
There’s nothing sweeter than seeing a winning bet come in and while the majority of racing fans would have left Galway in the red, one lucky man had a smile on his face that probably stretched from Ballybrit to Laois.
Almost 139,000 people passed through the stiles during the Galway Races, the overall tote finished at €6.7m which represented an increase of one million euros from last year, but we felt that this clever €2.50 each-way accumulator was too good not to share.
The winner wishes to stay anonymous, but he must have been jumping for joy after seeing his bet garner a €13,300 win via Ladbrokes.
He tells us that all of the races occurred on the same day and that he plans on investing the winnings into his new clothing company. Oh yeah, he’s also treating his girlfriend to a holiday.
Fair play to him.
