Bookies were left wiping away tears after a 'tough day' saw a whole host of fancied favourites romp home across the card. 1 Ali Shuffle, right, won the first leg of the monster ten-fold - which netted one Coral customer a life-changing fortune Credit: PA But no one landed a bigger gamble than the shrewdie who turned a fiver into an eye-popping £51,224. They somehow picked TEN winners in a monster accumulator that took in results at Chester, Newton Abbot, Kelso and Fontwell. The first two results were the favourites at Chester - Ali Shuffle and Redorange - at 5-6 andf 13-8 respectively. The market leaders ran riot at Newton Abbot for the jumps, with six of the seven races won by the favs. Roxanne (2-5), Gwennie May Jem (5-6), Sweet Caryline (9-4) and Al Sayah (9-4) all obliged at the Devon track, while Aidan O'Brien's impressive 11-8 winner Lambourn kept the ball rolling at Chester. Kilmore Rock won the 4pm at Kelso at 3-1 before Jack Sparrow's win in the 6.40pm at Fontwell left it all hanging on the final leg. Abbey Heights was backed at 15-8 for the 8pm contest at Kempton but sent off 6-5 fav under Jim Crowley.

The punter's heart would have been in their mouth as challengers circled Abbey Heights like sharks a furlong out. But he stayed on well to win by just over two lengths and secure the colossal sum. Coral's John Hill said: "With winners at four different racecourses, ten overall across the day, it was a magical start to Chester's May Meeting for one customer. "They scooped over £51,000 from just a £5 stake. "It was a tough day for bookmakers as the opening four favourites prevailed at Chester, while at Newton Abbot, six of the seven races were won by the favourite. "We don't think this will be the only customer celebrating a fancy payout on a multiple bet on Wednesday."
