Castleford man Looks to Take totescoop6 Winnings to Over £250,000

MANCHESTER, England, May 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Last weekend's successful totescoop6 punter will be looking to take his winnings to over £250,000 tomorrow as he aims to pick the winner of the bonus race which is the Betfred Silver Bowl (2.30 Haydock).

John McClure, a delivery driver from Castleford, won £193,505 after being the only person in the country to pick all six winners of the bet last Saturday and now has his sights on the £82,930 that is currently in the bonus fund.

"It's a dream come true to win the Scoop6 and I still can't believe I've done it," said McClure. "I've already used the winnings so far to pay off the rest of my mortgage and will take a long holiday if I land the bonus on Saturday."

This weekend's bet takes in action from Haydock, Goodwood and York. The highlight sees a field of 13 line up for the Betfred Temple Stakes where Sole Power is currently favourite to land back-to-back victories in the race.

"It was great to see a small punter like John win a small fortune on the Scoop6 last Saturday and I wish him all the best at Haydock in the bonus race this weekend," said totepool chairman Fred Done.

The totejackpot is at Haydock on Saturday whilst the totetrifecta rollover race will be the CoralChampionsClub.co.uk Sprint Trophy (3.45 York).
