Maths genius who's won €15m for horse racing fans picks out 66/1 shot for Aintree Grand National

A maths genius who has used his university education to win €15.5million for racing fans reckons he is onto another long shot jackpot - after picking out a 66-1 outsider to win today's Aintree Grand National.

Richard Brocklebank, 56, uses his number wizardry to place complex combinations of bets which produce the maximum return for minimum risk. His formula has produced an astonishing series of whopping wins for his syndicate of followers - including four of over £1m.

Richard's biggest success was in 2009 when Russian Trigger's Midlands Grand National victory at Uttoxeter netted him a £3.1m accumulator. His book about his bookie-bashing antics - £3 Million In 3 Weeks: The Squirrel Syndicate – A Gambler’s Tale - is a best-seller and set to be turned into a telly streaming smash.
