Punter Survives a Scare to hit the Jackpot
Broomfield Bijou got the ambitious accumulator off to the perfect start when making a successful chasing debut the opening race at Wexford.
The focus then switched to Catterick, where Easy Peeler, Chuti Manika and Harmonia justified fairly short odds to win their respective races.
Swinging Eddie was the fifth selection in the seven furlongs handicap, but looked an unlikely winner having failed to record a victory since May last year.
However, the eight-year-old dug deep under jockey Sam James to emerge victorious and keep the accumulator firmly on track.
The punter survived a scare in the sixth leg, with Furzig doing his best to get beat before prevailing by a nose from Freddy Robinson in the 1m 4f handicap.
One Of Our Own claimed the final race at Catterick, before Three By Two completed the accumulator by winning Wexford’s closing 3m1½f handicap chase.
The horse was backed into 9/1 on betting apps, leaving the punter delighted at grabbing double those odds earlier in the day.
