William Hill’s Acknowledgment

Lee Phelps, the voice of William Hill, acknowledged the unexpected turn of events, stating,

“It looked a quiet night at Wolverhampton, but one of our customers gave us a bit of a kicking having turned £20 into over £47k. They permed up five horses, four of which won, and had Gold Standard, the second-leg of the bet, won they would have taken home over £516k!”
