A punter who turned £2 into a whopping £112,000 on Gold Cup day has given his big race verdict.
David Jackson scooped the huge sum when Minella Indo, his final bet in an £1 each-way accumulator, won last year's renewal. The 41-year-old was thrilled when Henry De Bromhead's chaser defeated stablemate A Plus Tard in the Festival's feature race.
He placed a £1 each-way four-fold on the 14-1 ante-post bet, with Galvin (20-1), Sir Gerhard (16-1) and Quilixios (20-1). One by one they won at the famous meeting, leaving the dad-of-two pondering a cash out of £8,790 from bookies Bet 365 before the Gold Cup.
