A punter in County Tyrone received a massive boost to their finances after a £5 each-way accumulator on horse racing resulted in a handsome payout.

The anonymous customer placed the bet via their online BoyleSports account and selected four horses running at Plumpton, Kempton, Wolverhampton and Redcar.

The winners were Vindobala (6/1) in the 2.15 at Redcar, Vanity Affair (7/1) in the 2.30 at Wolverhampton, Pistol Whipped (11/1) in the 3.55 at Plumpton and Lavendars Blue (3/1) in the 4.02 at Kempton.

After a very successful day with some brilliantly priced winners, the customer won a stunning amount of £10,238.68 but thanks to the best odds guaranteed, another £3,336.49 was added meaning a stunning amount of £13,575.17 was won from a tenner stake.
