Fox Norton may have been among the most popular winners of the day for punters but he landed the killer blow for those still chasing the Scoop6 on Saturday.

The bet rolled over for a third week in a row after the one remaining punter, who had negotiated the first four legs, came unstuck in the penultimate race.

The win fund of £193,867 goes forward to next week, while the bonus pool has crept up to £138,390 meaning a combined £500,000 could be up for grabs next week.
