Quids in! Bonus-race winner takes punter past £500,000 mark

An anonymous punter has taken their Scoop6 winnings to more than £500,000 following the victory of 8-1 shot El Hayem at Sandown on Saturday.

Ryan Moore's mount struck wide down the Sandown straight to add the £479,645 bonus fund to the £24,970 prize gained seven days ago for the Scoop6 ticket holder, when the win fund was shared five ways.

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained four-year-old held off the challenge of GM Hopkins – who was also the subject of a bonus selection – by a neck.

The other three selections were Greenside, George William and Rusumaat, who were all unplaced.

Totepool spokesman Matt Hulmes said: "Congratulations to the anonymous bonus hunter, who has won £504,615 in seven days. Following Ryan Moore once again proved to be the right road to riches."

The Scoop6 win fund rolled over after 25-1 shot Dylan Mouth landed the Old Newton Cup at Haydock, knocking out the 69 tickets that had made it through to leg five. Next Saturday's pot starts with £49,964 in the win fund.

There were 57 winners of the £297.50 place fund.
