Yankee doodle handy: Lucky Kilkenny punter scoops €12,000 windfall

One lucky punter in Kilkenny has just scooped more than €12,000 when three of four horses selected in a outsider Yankee bolted in.

The anonymous winner placed a €3 yankee on four horses at four different tracks on Tuesday. A spokesperson for BoyleSports confirmed the total €33 layout netted the punter a tidy €12,239.40.

Emmas Dilemma was the first to win coming home first at the 3.10 at Huntington at 20/1. Their second horse, Amlad was beaten at Clonmel, but they then had wins for 12/1 shots Iwasthefutureonce and Poet’s Reflection at Wetherby and Taunton.

BoyleSports spokesperson Lawrence Lyons sais: “Hats off to our Kilkenny customer for picking so well on Tuesday.

“They certainly knew their stuff as none of the winners were favourites, so they deserve every cent and we wish them well with their winnings.”
