Mine was 1997.Was in a low paid job and done a 30p win lucky15 on the first day which was
Supreme novice, Shadow Leader won 5/1
Arkel, Or Royal won 11/2
Champion Hurdle, Make A Stand won 7/1
Kim Muir, King Lucifer won 7/2
Which paid just over £850.00
Mine was 3 years ago, Faugheen's champion hurdle win. He was the last leg of two trebles and I'd also backed him at 33/1, 7/1 and 4/1.
I stood to win 15k but traded out a little and won just over £12k on the day.
Annie Power's fall in the next race was hard to take as I would have won another £9k off ante post multiples. It almost felt like I'd lost when I left the course on the Tuesday evening - a strange feeling.
Nothing near the sums mentioned above but DDS finished off multiples with Yorkhill and Altior last year - including singles won me about £500 - makes a big difference to a students bank account!
Some superb wins here guys. I've had a few near misses for some big wins but yet to land anything major.
Similarities with others here, Annie Power hit me bad. Altior and Yorkhill has been my biggest winning antepost bet (in terms of one bet placed) last season at £420. (then singles on both horses made it up to around £700)
The Vautour, Thistlecrack and Limini treble is my best in regards to multiples.
Not one bet but the above was the biggest festival winning day for me as well. Vautour at Evens went onto Thistlecrack at Evens and then that went onto Limini to finish the day. Some day that!
If Cause of Causes, Buveur D'Air, Nichols Canyon and Samcro do the business this year then i'll be posting a much bigger figure
Best was definitely the bet I placed at Christmas 2014 - Silvi Conti to in the King George, UDS to win the Arkle, Faugheen to win the Champion Hurdle, Vautor to win the JLT. A tenner at 200/1, paid for most of my wedding (I designed the wedding menu with a dedication to Mullins and Walsh on the bottom)
Closely followed by 2016 - by some miracle I did the Vautor/Limini/Thistlecrack treble but also threw in Ballyandy and On The Fringe.
The first Cheltenham I followed properly was 2014 (having been piqued in 2013) I'd gotten Vautor and Faugheen at some big prices because I kept seeing people talking about them on twitter, but I put on the double late because I wasn't even aware you could do such a thing. When they came in I was like "this horse racing lark is easy!"
Soldaitino Triumph 2010 prob my best year saw it was brought by Henderson just before Season started. Saw it first race. Started back it from 16 12 10 and 8's. Won over 1400 quid that race.
Faugheen & Vautour in their respective Novice hurdle races (2014) won me a fair bit, although the rest of that particular festival didn't go overly great, but it was the fall of Annie (like a lot around the country), that cost me dear, still made just under £3k (profit) but was looking at around £9k (she was included in about 11 multiples) if she had stayed up, that hurt, a lot!
Had 5 winners on day one in 2015 in a super heinz, would have been 6 had Annie not fallen, always do a daily, every race, bet for the big festivals to small stakes, the best singular day I've had to this day in terms of winners and profit for the festival.
