A punter missed out on winning £425,000 by taking a bookmaker's offer before the final leg of two bets.
The Betfair customer decided not to let the last horse run in their Lucky 31 and five-fold accumulator. Credrojava, the 15-8 favourite for the closing mares' bumper at Aintree, went on to win under jockey Jonathan Burke.
The mare held the runner-up by half-a-length – and the result would have landed the racing fan the huge six-figure sum. However the backer, who wishes to remain anonymous, did not risk it and collected just under £58,000.
