Don't know if this headline is sensational or not...but according to the Daily Mirror, Bookmakers took a 15 million Pounds battering thanks to an extremely successful betting coup.

Eye of the Tiger struck first blood for punters at *Lingfield. It was priced at 10-1 having not run for 481 days but was backed in to even money favourite before the race.

Next was Seven Summits, which claimed its first win over hurdles at Catterick.
It was backed from 7-1 to 9-4 favourite. Later at Kempton, Indus Valley was running for the first time in 700 days, but still won at 4-6 after being priced as high as 20-1 on Tuesday night.

And the quadruple was completed by Low Key, which returned from a 350-day lay-off to win at 4-7 having been backed in from 7-1 earlier in the day.

Each of the final two horses to complete the coup, Indus Valley and Low Key, were trending on Twitter for a while after they came through.
Obviously, when you bet a horse at 10/1 with bookmakers, you're locked in at that price.
