Queens Delivers Gold For One Lucky Punter
The punter, James Allen, won the Unitab $500 Bet promotion on the Gold Cup and placed it on Queen Lauryn, who took out the $74,000 race for trainer Tony Brett.
The $500 Bet promotion gives one lucky punter who attends Albion Park a $500 win-bet on the Group race of the night and to enter all they have to do is put any losing betting (TOTE) ticket, with their details on the back, into the entry boxes.
Last night James Allen spent only $4 on a bet on race three at Albion Park, and thought he didn't have much luck when it lost, entering the losing ticket into the competition.
But things soon changed when he was drawn out as the winner of the promotion and quickly announced he would be putting it on the home ground favourite Queen Lauryn.
Queen Lauryn won by half a length ahead of top stayer Mantra Lad, and payed a $3.70 dividend on the TOTE.
Mr Allen collected $1850.
The next night of the promotion will be on the Group Two Brandons Electrical Queensland Derby night on Thursday night, June 18.
