The lightly raced Coolmore 4yr old heads to Newbury with a career record of five wins from six starts, with his biggest success coming in a Group 3 at Dundalk last October.

William Hill initially made Godolphin’s Farrh favourite for the Lockinge, on the back of a very consistent and top class campaign in 2012, when he was twice runner-up to Frankel, ran second in the Eclipse and was beaten in a photo in the Moulin.

Officially rated 12lbs ahead of Declaration Of War, Farhh looked the one, on paper, to beat at Newbury.

However, Declaratation Of War is the only horse backed this week with William Hill – his opening price of 5/1 lasted less than an hour, and subsequent price cuts to 9/2, 4/1, 7/2, 3/1, 11/4, 5/2, 2/1 and 7/4 failed to stem the flow of cash and the O’Brien runner is now our clear 13/8 market leader.

William Hill, spokeswoman, Kate Miller said, “This is a most unusual gamble. We are used to seeing prices collapse on the day of the race in handicaps, but ante-post plunges in Group One races are as pretty uncommon. For Declaration Of War to move from 5/1 on Monday to 13/8 on Wednesday is fairly significant, and with nine price changes inside three days, our compilers certainly feel under attack from our punters!“

Farhh is now our 4/1 second favourite, and with Saeed Bin Suroor yet to post a UK winner in 2013 (0/12), his price could yet drift further.

JLT Lockinge Stakes: 13-8 Declaration of War, 4-1 Farhh, 10-3 Cityscape, 7-1 Beauty Parlour, 8-1 Fencing, 9-1Trumpet Major, 14-1 Aljamaaheer, 20-1 Penitent, Sovereign Debt, 25-1 Amaron, Chil The Kite, 33-1 Libranno, 40-1Reply (EW 1/5 odds 1,2,3)

The man – in his forties – wishes to remain anonymous, but regularly places small-staking accumulators in the hope of ‘’knocking the bookmakers for six”!

Selecting 11 horses across three of Sunday’s meetings, the Home Counties punter placed a number of 1p accumulator bets using combinations of four, five, six, and 8 of the 11 horses he carefully selected.

Whilst only eight of his 11 selections obliged, it was enough to set-up a jackpot win of over £200,000.

When discussing his win, he commented: ‘’This sort of win is completely alien to me! I’ve had a couple of four-figure wins in the past, but I never expected this. I’m going to chill out over the next few days thinking about how to spend the money, but it’ll go a long way in the current climate. I’ll probably pay off the mortgage, and i’m a bit of a car fan, so I might see about a vintage sports car!”

Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: ‘’this is one of the luckiest bets we’ve ever seen and the one all punters dream of. Accumulators are incredibly popular bets to place and a couple of times a year we’ll be hit by a large winner, but to see one with penny stakes is almost unique.”

The Bets
1p win 4-folds, stake £3.30, return £3,606.49
1p win 5-folds, stake £4.62, return £21,127.08
1p win 6-folds, stake £4.62, returns £73,703.69
1p e/w 8-folds, stake £3.30, returns £111,294.33
Total Stakes: £15.84
Total Winnings: £209,731.59

NOTE FOR EDITORS
What is an accumulator?
An accumulator bet allows two or more selections to be combined into a single bet. By doing so, the successful linked selections will return higher odds than they would if they had been bet on individually.
A double combines two selections, a treble three selections, a four-fold will combine four, a five-fold five selections and so on.
