Ruth Carr fan lands amazing £96,000 bet on day to remember for Yorkshire trainer

A fan of Yorkshire trainer Ruth Carr has collected £96,000 after pulling off an extraordinary accumulator bet featuring four of her horses.

Stillington-based Carr sent five runners to the races on Tuesday, three to Beverley and two to Sussex for the opening day of the Glorious Goodwood Festival. Not only did four of them win, including Brazen Bolt at odds of 28-1 in the valuable Shaker Handicap, but a Coral customer from Huddersfield had included the horses in a £1 Lucky 15.

Star Start got the bet under way by dead-heating in the first leg at Beverley, then Brazen Bolt scored under Warren Fentiman, before Joanna Mason rode a double for the stable on Jojo Rabbit and King Sharja at Beverley. The betting shop punter’s total winnings came to £96,052.50.

“Our punter from Huddersfield is clearly a big Ruth Carr fan, and their confidence in the Yorkshire-based trainer paid dividends on Tuesday, as they scooped just over 96k after including all four winners in a Lucky 15,” said Coral’s John Hill.

“Carr’s biggest-priced winner came at Glorious Goodwood, with Brazen Bolt struck in the sprint handicap at odds of 28-1. It was a day to remember for the trainer, and arguably an even bigger day for the Huddersfield-based customer.”

Carr said: “Well done that person. I’m pretty sure we haven’t had a four-timer before. It takes some doing. You never go down into a big sprint handicap down south at a Festival meeting full of confidence.

“But the horse had been in good form, his back form was there as well. We took a valuable 5lb off, he got a straightforward ride and the old boy got the job done.”

Carr did not travel to Goodwood for, preferring Beverley, where she has now trained eight winners in 2025.

“It’s a long way and there are 40 other horses at home to train,” she said. “I rode out and then went to Beverley which is just up the road.

“The horses are healthy and we appear to be getting in the right races. Luck is going our way and sometimes somebody else's bad luck is your good luck and we seem to be getting plenty of the good luck at the moment.”
