WATCH: This is the moment a JOE reader won over £16k from a £5 bet at Cheltenham

Tony Cuddihy

Incredible.

JOE reader Niall McGovern has sent us news of his remarkable good fortune from Cheltenham, where he has won a placepot worth north of £16,000 from a stake of just £5.

While the majority of people would have included Douvan to place in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, Niall somehow avoided that fate suddenly he was staring down the barrel of a massive, massive win.

We’re getting unconfirmed reports that Niall is currently swimming in a pool of champagne, somewhere in Gloucestershire.

He sent us these slips as proof of his windfall.

Well done Niall. (We hate you.)
