Thanks everyone. I'm still in shock. I would have came on here earlier but my phone never stopped at night.
Over did the celebrations, woke up on the kitchen floor at 1.40am.
That was a mad few hours - interview with the racing post and had Charlie Austin and Hugh Cahill DMing me

I wouldn't have had the bet if it wasn't for all you guys.
Lobos was the one who convinced me to back Galvin in the Summer. Scooby91 was pretty sure SG would be a bumper horse. Can't remember who put Quilixios up (who even backs a triumph horse in the summer!).
......and I picked out Minella Indo
I want to thank you all. This forum is amazing. I was just the lucky guy who hit the jackpotComment

Many many congrats chap, bordering on outrageous not to cash that after the third leg - balls of steel! I know you had a good festival even before this landed! What do you intend to do?!
Irrespective be sure to take a bit of time to enjoy it, incredible and well deserved!Comment

When I saw Galvin, Quixilous and Sir Gerhard all at 20s on twitter yesterday I knew it had to be somebody on here. 2 pound bet that is insane. Well done enjoy itComment

I’ve said if elsewhere Faugheen Machine, but huge congratulations on your win. You deserve it. As you said, it’s going to be life changing. I just hope you invest it wisely. And by wisely I mean make sure you know what the limits are with each bookie.
I think the thing for everyone to take out of it is, that if you put the hard work in you don’t have to invest a fortune to potentially get big returns. You need a bit of luck with your horses getting to the Festival and then connecting together, but FM has provided the evidence that what everyone on here is trying to do is possible. Small stakes yankees and trixies, and even doubles, can turn into something significant. You don’t need your mortgage on the Festival, and a series of sensible and affordable bets over the next 12 months can give us all something to look forward to. There are some more FJ’s who will step forward over the next few days with some great bets they landed. Not quite in the Faugheen Machine bracket, but totalling many thousands nevertheless. They’re all there in the diaries, and those that aren’t I’m sure can have a free pass on the aftertiming. There’s nothing better than hearing about the great results people have had, when we’ve all been on this fantastic journey together over the last twelve months.
So many thanks to Faugheen Machine, and everyone who have had significant returns for minimal investments, for giving us hope and allowing us to dream big again for the next twelve months.
