It was a case of better late than never for one lucky racing punter on Saturday who made it a night to remember when reeling off the last three winners at Gulfstream Park, to land a 580/1 treble.

The 5f sprint at 10.57 was switched from the turf track to the dirt, but the change of surface made no difference to our pal or the selection, as the four-year-old filly Miss Auramet (9/5f but backed at 4/1) skipped away from the field to deliver.

And the best was saved until last when Katniss Kan (78/10 but backed at a whopping 40/1 pre-race) ran out the most convincing winner in the each-way treble at 23.29, with a three-and-a-half-length victory over Honest Gal to see our pal £4,647 richer off an £8 stake.
