One lucky punter has walked with an incredible six-figure pay-out thanks Minella Indo’s incredible Gold Cup victory at the Cheltenham Festival.

David Jackson posted his betslip on Twitter before the start of Friday’s showpiece, showing how his four-fold accumulator needed Henry de Bromhead’s charge to win to land an eye-popping £112,854.

Having already landed three winners – with Galvin, Quilixios and Sir Gerhard all coming in, Jack Kennedy’s great late surge saw him hit the jackpot.  

Minella Indo edged out A Plus Tard to give trainer Henry de Bromhead a one-two. 

The victory also capped an incredible week for de Bromhead, who also collected the Champion Hurdle and Champion Chase, becoming the first trainer to win all three of the big feature races at Cheltenham.

After the victory, Jackson tweeted: ‘Unbelievable. 

‘Thanks very much everyone. I’m in shock. Really appreciate the good wishes. Time for a beer.’ 

David Jackson had backed an ante-post bet, and so secured longer odds than what they set off at on the day. 

It is the second time this week a bet has gone viral, with Paul Dean cashing out for £250,000 instead of letting his selection run on Thursday. 

It was jockey Kennedy that was also on board Envoi Allen that could have left Dean with an extra £122,000, but the favourite fell during the Marsh Novices’ Chase.
