Scoop6 Success as Saxon Surges to Classic Victory

A stylish success from Saxon Warrior in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket this afternoon contributed to eight punters winning a share of £657,882 on the Scoop6.

Each punter collected £82,235.20 after Tribal Quest landed the final leg but it was the earlier win of Saxon Warrior, giving Aidan O’Brien a 300^th career Group/Grade 1 winner, that stole the show.

They will now go forward for the chance to add the bonus fund of £583,363 by picking the winner of a nominated race next Saturday.

Oasis Dream got favourite backers off to the perfect start in leg 1 before Isabel De Urbina scored at Goodwood. Following the 12/1 success of Taurean Star, 589 tickets remained at halfway, which soon became just 113 as the 6/1 shot Original Choice had won the totesport.com Hunt Cup at Wetherby.

The Classic win for Saxon Warrior meant 28 units were still in play heading into the last at Newmarket where William Buick’s mount proved too good for his rivals, much to the delight of the octet.

Totepool spokesman Matt Hulmes said “After ten successive rollovers the Scoop6 has finally been won. Eight delighted punters will each receive £82,235 and the chance to play for the £583,363 bonus fund next weekend.”

The place fund was won by 993 tickets, each winning £86.00.
