Scoop6 fortune awaits Legion

A MYSTERY punter could present the British Legion with a cheque for £2.75 million if his selection can win the Racing Post Chase at Kempton today.

The anonymous player bagged £669,465 after picking the winner of each of last week’s nominated six races, also giving himself the opportunity to play for the bonus fund of £2,755,923.

The Suffolk backer, whose identity is a closely-guarded secret, has promised to donate the prize to the Legion who are guaranteed a donation of some kind today, with the Tote placing a £1,000 bet on the eventual winner of the race in case the bonus selection fails to win.
