Edinburgh student who bought shares in Grand National winner for £3k takes in £60k

An Edinburgh student who bought a share in the Grand National winner was celebrating this weekend after taking in £60,000.

Cameron Sword, who studies business at Heriot-Watt, scraped together £3,000 for the shares and says it was 'the best three grand I've ever spent'. The 21-year-old was in a 'state of disbelief' after the horse, Corach Rambler, found success at Aintree.

He partied with fellow owners in Liverpool on Saturday, before heading back to Kinross where well-wishers gathered at Arlary House Stables, where the horse lives. Nine-year-old Corach is owned by a six-strong team and cost just £17,000, reports the Daily Record.
