A Unibet punter from Queensland has experienced a weekend to remember after turning a Flexi quaddie into an extraordinary $56,000 collect at Sunday’s Albany meeting in Western Australia.
Having seen $8 shot Jetson Express come from the tail of the field to grab a last-stride win in Race 5, the bet remained alive after his only ‘stand-out’ selection, $4.80 chance War Ksar, recorded a strong win in Race 6.
Things really started to get interesting after the locally-trained Queen Tori caused a massive upset at $101 in Race 7 before the aptly-named Better Romance, ridden by apprentice Kate Witten, also came with a powerful surge to salute in the last at odds of $18.
The punter’s 33c per combination quaddie, which incorporated 45 individual combinations for a total outlay of $14.85, earned him 33% of the final Vic Tab dividend of $170,581, netting him a cool $56,292 for his troubles and giving him a bit of extra spending money ahead of Valentine’s Day!
