A Betfair customer has turned a £1 stake into £51,058.89 after landing a sensational 11-fold racing accumulator in the space of just three hours on Thursday.

The remarkable bet focused on two meetings at Ayr and Lingfield, producing an extraordinary run of winners.

Apples Jade kicked things off at Ayr, setting the tone for what became a clean sweep across the seven-race card at the Scottish track.

At Lingfield, one selection was declared a non-runner and voided, but the remaining picks all delivered on the all-weather, with Diamond Geezer, Space Invasion, Poke The Bear and Royal Jet all winning at odds-against.

The final leg came when The Sketcher powered home by five-and-a-half lengths, sealing a stunning five-figure return for the punter.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “What an incredible afternoon for a Betfair customer, turning a £1 stake into more than £51,000.

“It’s not every day you pick seven winners on a single card, but to combine that with multiple odds-against winners at another meeting really is extraordinary.

“Seeing The Sketcher storm home to land the final leg must have been a special moment. Congratulations on an outstanding win.”
