A punter is £300,000 better off after Camelot landed the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas by a neck at Newmarket.
The customer placed a £100,000 ante-post bet in a
Betfred shop in Rochdale a month ago at odds of 3/1 and his faith was rewarded as Aidan O’Brien’s colt beat French Fifteen to land the first classic of the season.
“Although Camelot’s victory has cost me a fortune, it’s great that racing has another equine superstar on its hands and I can’t wait to see him line up in the Derby next month,” said Betfred chairman Fred Done.
Camelot is now the 5/4 favourite (from 2/1) with Betfred for the Investec Derby at Epsom. He heads the market from Akeed Mofeed at 14/1 and it’s 16/1 bar that pair.
