If I am allowed to include flat racing, a non racing friend rang me to tell me that he had been tipped Venture Capitalist for the Wokingham (ridden by Alex Greaves) at 40/1 and Piccolo for the Kings Stand at 33/1. I already fancied Piccolo so agreed to join him and the person who gave him the tip in a combination bet of £20 each way both horses and a £10 ew double. I had a tax free account in Gibraltar at the time and the bet was accepted. VC was only fourth (4 places) but only beaten a neck and 2 short heads while Piccolo won easily. A good payout but the nearest I have been to a 5 figure pot.

Celestial Halo's (took 9/1)short head second to Punjabi in the 2009 Champion Hdle cost me just over 20 grand in a £5 win antepost yankee. The other selections were Zaynar won 4/1 triumph hdle, Well Chief to finish 2nd to Master Minded Champion Chase, won 9/2 and Dunguib won 7/1 Champion bumper. I still got a decent return though.
