BOOKIES William Hill were left ‘stunned’ when a ‘monster’ 25p each-way winner stung them for a massive £35,000.

The bet, which took in horses at Kelso, Doncaster and Newbury last Saturday, is all the more remarkable considering two of the selections lost.

Horses and jockeys hurdle jump during a race. — William Hill were staring a £400,000 payout in the face so it could have been worse – but the punter still walked off with £35,000

The 25p each-way Lucky 63 came to a total outlay of £31.50 – with six runners in all being backed.

The punter has a massive Cheltenham Festival kitty to splurge now after Bold Light got the ball rolling by winning the 2.20pm at Kelso by a neck at 17-2.

Tommy’s Oscar was the next in the huge bet – which included six singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, six five-folds and a six-fold acca.

But he failed to place in the 2.40 at Doncaster.

While hopes of a truly life-changing sum were dashed there, Jet To Vegas’ 22-1 win and 33-1 Moroder’s freak Grimthorpe Chase victory at Doncaster got the juices flowing once more.

Incredibly, Cracking Rhapsody then won the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso at odds of 14-1.

Nervy William Hill traders were staring at a £400,000 payout by the time Paul Nicholls’ Grand National hope Kandoo Kid lined up in the Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury.

The last leg of the bet was sent off 9-1 but sadly for the punter had no chance from three out – as 16-1 Booster Bob flew home from the clouds to nab Vincenzo under Sean Bowen, who looked to have sealed ‘Ride of the Year’ honours in the process.

It meant that even though there was no fairytale, the punter still made off with a cool £35,000.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “There’s no better time to land a big odds acca than right before Cheltenham Festival.

“With selections at 14-1, 22-1 and 33-1, it was certainly an outside bet, but that’s led to a monster payout of over £35,000 from just a £31.50 outlay.

“The run of 22-1, 33-1 and 14-1 winners between 2.55 and 3.30 must have been some thrill!”

This win came after William Hill were whacked for £47,000 by another punter who landed two outrageous bets.
