Not me but a mate of mine.
Four of us always used to take Cheltenham Week off work.
In the morning we would play golf and then after some lunch get down to bookies after dropping off our golfing gear at home and after racing straight to the pub to discuss the days events
It was 1999 and it had been a mixed week for us except for one lad who had nothing but bad luck.What made it worse was the lad in question had been made redundant a few weeks earlier.
On the final day,which was the Thursday at that time ,we all met in the bookies and the lad who was having the bad week said ‘Ive got my bet on,a 20p each Lucky 15 leaves me me enough for a couple of pints.
The first selection on his lucky 15 was
Anjum @ 40/1 won
He hadn’t told us beforehand what he had selected he only told us when he had a selection in the race.
Just before the gold cup he told us his next selection was in this race:
See More Business 16/1 won
The rest us of were now thinking well he can can get a round in now
His Third horse was
Stormyfairweather and he had taken 14/1 won
The three of us were now getting quite excited as he told us his final selection was in the last at Cheltenham-the County Hurdle.
we palced our bets and settled down to watch the race and to also watch him.
As I am remeber the race unfolded so that two horses approached the last and these were the only two in it ,one getting on top close home.
Once they had passed the prost he casuall got off his stool and said
‘I had that bugger an all’
Sir Talbot won 10/1
We waited for the bookies to go a bit quieter,didnt want prying ears,
and then he asked me to ask how much he had won.
I moved to the end of the counter to be told he had won 32k and a few hundred my meomry is not waht it was so I cant remeber the hundreds
We waited for the bookies to empty completely before he went up the counter himsel.Can you imagine the bookies face when he asked for his winnings in cash because he didn’t want to pay a cheeque into his bank account because it may effect his benefits.
The bookie didn’t have that much cash and so gave him £200 and asked him to come back in the morning.
Off we went to the pub and the lousy bugger bought each of us a cigar and two pints all night !!!!!
Thats the closest Ive been to a Lucky 15

Thanks Everyone
Bit fuzzy headed this morning after celebrating courtesy of BF and PP
Wheels fell off Friday(knew I should have had my head in the formbook rather than watch MCFC) but thankfully I had sense to ringfence winnings up to that point.
Many thanks to Bulwark for running this comp – dont know how you found the time to do it and study the form, but I am sure everybody who took part appreciates it.
Hopefully back next year to defend my title:-)
