A stable lad belonging to the Nicky Henderson stable has won around £1million in an accumulator bet on five of the yard's runners at the Cheltenham Festival this week, it was reported on Thursday night.
The bet was reported to be have been placed with bet365 late last year, when the odds would have been much bigger, and featured Sprinter Sacre on Tuesday, Simonsig, Finian's Rainbow and Bobs Worth on Wednesday, and Riverside Theatre on Thursday afternoon.
Pat Cooney, spokesman for the firm, was quoted on the Guardian's website as saying: "We're pleased for all our customers who've had a winning day today but we don't discuss individual accounts.
"This one particular customer's had an extremely good time of it."
The BBC's Claire Balding tweeted: "The lad who looks after Finian's Rainbow had a five-timer on Nicky Henderson winners and has won £1million! Says he'll still be at work tomorrow."
On Wednesday, Henderson overtook the late Fulke Walwyn as the most successful trainer at the Festival. He saddles Gold Cup favourite Long Run on Friday.
The trainer told the Daily Mail: "I've just heard about it - it's absolutely wonderful. He's such a lovely lad, one of the nicest you could ever meet.
"He's my top guy and I am absolutely thrilled about it.''
