If you’ve been having bad week at Cheltenham, then maybe you ought to listen to Lee Westwood.
In addition to being one of the best golfers in the world, a 42-time event winner, and a three-time European Tour Golfer of the Year, the Nottinghamshire-native picked the winner of every single race on the first day of the Cheltenham Festival.
Placing the horses on a Betfred offer called “totejackpot”, where a punter must name the first six winners of the day, the lucky Westwood received a sizeable payout.
Following his good luck, the 44-year-old decided to place a bet on the last race of the day as well – that horse won too, giving him an astonishing seven winners from seven races.
Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live, Westwood said:
I put £128 on the tote (totejackpot) and it paid just under £22,000.
