Punter wins £96,000 on two remarkable bets thanks to Yorkshire trainer's 'amazing' four-timer

Trainer Ruth Carr enjoyed a red-letter day on Tuesday as she saddled a remarkable four winners across meetings at Beverley and Goodwood – a memorable afternoon that landed one Coral punter a payout of £96,052.50 from just £20 staked.

The winning bet, struck in a Coral shop in Huddersfield and comprising a £1 Lucky 15 and £5 accumulator, included 28-1 Glorious Goodwood winner Brazen Bolt and three other Carr-trained runners, capping a dream day for both trainer and punter.

"We definitely haven’t had four winners in a day, especially with one at a festival," said Carr. "We’ve only ever had the odd treble."

The lucky punter's bet began at Beverley with a nervy start as Star Start was a dead-heat winner with Poet's Dawn.

Carr then watched on from the Beverley parade ring as Brazen Bolt just held off Adrestia by a nose at Goodwood under Warren Fentiman, whose 5lb claim proved pivotal.

Carr said: "I was sure we had won until they showed it in slow motion and it was a lot tighter than I expected! But it’s always good when the camera man is following the horse and it fills you with a bit more confidence."

Jojo Rabbit secured the third leg, winning by three-quarters of a length at 12-1 in what turned out the most comfortable win of the four.

Even at that point, Carr wasn’t confident she was about to land her first four-timer. 

King Sharja was sent off at 10-1 in the last and prevailed by a short head from the favourite, Triggerman. The punter may have been watching from behind the sofa as even the commentator had to wait for the replay to call the winner.

"I was thinking by the last we probably had used up all our luck for the day. Halfway up the straight I thought we were booked for a place but as they crossed the line I thought we might have managed to do it!"

On the bet, Carr added: "It’s fantastic for that lucky person who did that, it’s very exciting for them."

Carr's four winners doubled her tally for the month and she celebrated in style in the evening.

She added: “I feel a bit worn out to be honest. Everyone is on top of the world and there's an amazing vibe across the yard this morning. The knock-on effect for the owners, vets, physios and everyone who makes these winners happen is amazing.

"I took a trip home via Marks and Spencer, got some posh pizzas and we had a bit of a party last night."
