Anonymous Punter Lands totescoop6 Bonus of £613,928

GOODWOOD, England, July 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

An anonymous totesport punter landed the totescoop6 bonus fund this afternoon after Hoof It defied the statistics to carry top-weight to victory in the Stewards' Cup.

The three winners of last weekend's win fund all chose a different horse in the bonus race with the other two on Mac's Power and Colonel Mak, the latter being the selection of Linda Piatkowska who was the £2 Scoop6 player who placed her bet in a Betfred shop in Dartford.

This means the anonymous punter adds a further £613,928 to the £173,374 he won last weekend taking his total totescoop6 winnings to £787,302.

"Hoof It landed the final leg of last weekend's totescoop6 and we take our hats off to the bonus winner who kept the faith with Mick Easterby's gelding to land a life-changing sum of money at Glorious Goodwood," said Betfred chairman Fred Done.

This afternoon's totescoop6 win fund was not won and although the bet did go all the way to the final leg, both tickets were on Pastoral Player who couldn't land a blow behind eventual winner Hoof It. This means there is a total of £66,392 which is carried forward to next Saturday whilst the bonus pot starts again at £28,454.

A total of £189,684 was bet into this afternoon's pool and there were only 39 winners of the place fund, each of whom picks up a healthy £972.70.
