His first win came when a horse called “Isn’t That Lucky” won the 2:55 p.m. race at the Sandown track, southwest of London. By the time “A Dream Come True” crossed the finish line at the Wolverhampton racecourse in central England later that evening, the man had won 1 million pounds.

Good thing he did not bet on "Don't waste your money" in the 3rd race.

I have been in Thirsk ( North Yorkshire ) . It is where the REAL James Herriot ( Alf White ) of All Creatures Great and Small books and TV , practiced . Nice little market town .

This WOULD Happen - I gurantee it:

“If he does it another 400,000 times we’ll have it all back,” Sharpe said.

Gamblers are not capable of being able to help themselves.

beating odds of two-million-to-one.

Those seem like better odds than most of the government operated numbers rackets operating here in the states.
