‘I was going mental!’ says Royal Ascot punter after bagging huge win from ‘incredible’ £10 bet

ONE lucky punter has landed himself £14,158 from a spectacular £10 bet at Royal Ascot.

The plucky racegoer stuck a tenner on a three-horse bet to earn himself the hefty payday on Friday.

The customer backed Venetian Sun in the Albany Stakes, Never Let Go in Sandringham Stakes and Adrestia in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes in a £5 each-way treble.

All three horses didn’t just place, but actually WON their respective races.

The punter, who had backed the trio at 10/1, 16/1 and 6/1, will have been in shock after only deciding to back the horses thanks to the tips in the Ladbrokes shop he went into.

He told Ladbrokes: “I just went with the tips in the Ladbrokes shop!

“I couldn’t believe it when I was on for the win going into the final race.

“I was watching the Holyroodhouse and thought if Adrestia gets out, she’s not getting caught. I was going mental!”

While Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “After punters left us with our tail between our legs the previous day, this customer landed one of the bets of Royal Ascot on a day when upsets might have otherwise left us smiling. Congratulations on an incredible win.

“They’ll never let go of this memory – and might already be planning a fitting trip to Venice with their winnings!”

Elsewhere at Ascot there was chaos when winning horse Lazzat almost drop-kicked a groundsworker in the head after getting loose and going mad.

The Wathnan-owned sprinter just bagged more than half a million quid for winning the Group 1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs.


But when jockey James Doyle was about to be interviewed by ITV, the 9-2 winner appeared to get spooked by a cloth being raised in front of him.

Like a red rag to a bull, the fired-up four-year-old dumped Doyle to the turf, turned round and then galloped off down the track.
