One William Hill punter enjoyed their Saturday last weekend, as they landed a winning four-fold to the tune of over £26,000 on the racing action across Ascot and York.
The remarkable bet saw four horses triumph at prices ranging from 6/1 to 10/1, with the punter picking all four selections days before the races took place.
With just £5.54 staked each way, the accumulator produced a staggering £26,081.10 return after William Hill’s acca boost added more than £8,600 to the winnings.

He kicked the day off with Stratusnine running out victorious in the Dash Handicap at York before Kon Tiki followed up in the Valiant Stakes under a typically excellent Ryan Moore ride.
The final two selections came in the two most competitive races on the Ascot card, first with Amazing Journey who landed the International Handicap for Saffie and Jamie Osborne before Kalpana ran out victorious in the King George to land the bet.
Lee Phelps hails “truly outstanding touch”
Off just a £5.54 stake, the punter has landed an incredible return of over £26k, courtesy of an acca boost seeing the returns boosted by over £8.6k.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “The Saturday just gone was a feast of competitive racing, but not for one punter who landed a four-fold accumulator across four of the trickiest contests on the day, garnering a return of over £26,000.
“Placed last Wednesday in the antepost markets, the foresight shown is something quite incredible. Starting with Stratusnine in York’s Dash Handicap at 8/1, the sprinter was sent off the 10/3 favourite and duly delivered.
“Next came Kon Tiki at Ascot. The Jane Chapple-Hyam filly was victorious in the Valiant Stakes at 6/1 in the coupon, sent off far shorter at 7/2. Amazing Journey proved an inspired selection at 10/1 in the International Handicap, running out a commanding winner at just 4/1 before Kalpana landed the goods in the feature King George to land a return of £26,081.10, courtesy of a boost of over £8,600.
“To pick out four Saturday weekend winners days ahead, and at the prices they did, is really quite something and we can only reward the punter on a truly outstanding touch.”
