Ruth Carr fan lands amazing £96,000 bet on day to remember for Yorkshire trainer
A fan of Yorkshire trainer Ruth Carr has collected £96,000 after pulling off an extraordinary accumulator bet featuring four of her horses.
Stillington-based Carr sent five runners to the races on Tuesday, three to Beverley and two to Sussex for the opening day of the Glorious Goodwood Festival. Not only did four of them win, including Brazen Bolt at odds of 28-1 in the valuable Shaker Handicap, but a Coral customer from Huddersfield had included the horses in a £1 Lucky 15.
Star Start got the bet under way by dead-heating in the first leg at Beverley, then Brazen Bolt scored under Warren Fentiman, before Joanna Mason rode a double for the stable on Jojo Rabbit and King Sharja at Beverley. The betting shop punter's total winnings came to £96,052.50.
'Our punter from Huddersfield is clearly a big Ruth Carr fan, and their confidence in the Yorkshire-based trainer paid dividends on Tuesday, as they scooped just over 96k after including all four winners in a Lucky 15,' said Coral's John Hill.
'Carr's biggest-priced winner came at Glorious Goodwood, with Brazen Bolt struck in the sprint handicap at odds of 28-1. It was a day to remember for the trainer, and arguably an even bigger day for the Huddersfield-based customer.'
Carr said: 'Well done that person. I'm pretty sure we haven't had a four-timer before. It takes some doing. You never go down into a big sprint handicap down south at a Festival meeting full of confidence.
'But the horse had been in good form, his back form was there as well. We took a valuable 5lb off, he got a straightforward ride and the old boy got the job done.'

Carr did not travel to Goodwood for, preferring Beverley, where she has now trained eight winners in 2025.
'It's a long way and there are 40 other horses at home to train,' she said. 'I rode out and then went to Beverley which is just up the road.
'The horses are healthy and we appear to be getting in the right races. Luck is going our way and sometimes somebody else's bad luck is your good luck and we seem to be getting plenty of the good luck at the moment.'

Emmerdale star 'leaving show' as character to be killed off
Mackenzie 'Mack' Boyd (Lawrence Robb) will be killed by villain John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). It will be Sugden's latest victim, having last killed Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). Fan-favourite Mack, has been on the ITV soap for five years, and it is rumoured his death will be "harrowing". According to The Sun, John will kill again in an attempt to hide his long list of crimes after Mack discovers his secrets. A source told the publisher: "The scenes are going to be really harrowing for fans to watch. 'Mackenzie has been in so many scrapes and dangerous positions, but this time it looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew. 'Viewers will be on the edges of their seats watching what happens.' A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale) The scenes on the ITV soap are reportedly set to air later this year, with Lawrence Robb already filming his death scene. The source added: "There are huge twists and turns coming throughout this storyline and it's going to run for months and months. "Nothing can be ruled out - bosses are really going for it and doing everything they can to keep the audience on their toes." There have already been a few exits on Emmerdale so far in 2025. Happy Yorkshire day to you all! 🥳 Our cast have told you what their favourite thing about Yorkshire is, but what's yours? 🤔 #Emmerdale #YorkshireDay Gail Loman, played by Rachael Gill-Davis, left the show earlier this year.
