Crafty Naas punter wins €6k on Aintree Festival bets

It was a joyous day for plenty of Irish connections in Aintree but one lucky punter in a BoyleSports betting shop in Naas bagged a whopping €6,175 from a stake of just €50.

The anonymous customer placed two different bets consisting of €10 doubles and a €20 treble to win the big amount on day two of the Aintree festival.

The first bet was a €20 treble on Min in the 15.25 race, Cadmium in the 16.05 and Champ in the 16.40 with the €10 doubles consisting of the same selections.

Min got things off to a winning start for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh as the 2/1 favourite won by a massive twenty lengths.

Cadmium gave the Willie Mullins camp a quick-fire double for Gold Cup jockey Paul Townend at a very nice price of 8/1.

The final winner to land the winning bets was the aptly named Champ for Mark Walsh and Nicky Henderson as usual rider Barry Geraghty had to step down after a bad fall in the previous race. Champ returned the 9/4 favourite.

With three consecutive races, the punter didn’t have to wait long to collect the winnings ahead of the feature race on Saturday, the Grand National.

The total amount won was €6,175 for a stake of €50 to send the customer home happy for the weekend.

Sarah Kinsella Spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “What a brilliant bet this Co Kildare shop punter won today on three Irish winning jockeys.

"The punter will be thrilled with the big win heading into the weekend and we wish our customer the best of luck with their winnings”.
