Lucky punter wins nearly €7,000 from just a €6 bet on the races

A lucky Irish punter was celebrating after winning nearly €7,000 from just a €6 bet on Monday evening. 

The Meath gambler hit the jackpot after placing a €3 each way treble on races in Bath and Wolverhampton. 

In the 3.35 race at Bath, Powerful Dream got things rolling when flashing past the post in first at odds of 12/1. 

And then when Viola Park did the business in the 6.50 at Wolverhampton at 20/1, the dream was close to becoming reality. 

It all rested on The Daley Express (8/1) who flew up the straight to win by a length and bag the punter a handsome €6,891.48 to get their week off to a fantastic start.

Boylesports' Sarah Kinsella said: “Well done to our Meath customer who managed to turn a small stake of €6 into a jaw-dropping amount of €6,891.48. We wish our client the very best of luck with their winnings.”
