Grand National bet from 1974 honoured
A man who found a tatty winning betting slip from the 1974 Grand National has told the 91福利社 of his astonishment when a bookmakers honoured the bet.
Bob Holmes, from Houston in Renfrewshire, was going through his dead father-in-law's paperwork when he noticed the betting slip.
Joe Robertson had placed a pound on Red Rum to win at odds of 11-1.
Bookmakers William Hill honoured the bet, adjusting the win for inflation to pay out 拢130, and gave Mr Holmes the same amount in free bets for this weekend's race.
Mr Holmes said it was the name of the legendary three times-National winner which caught his eye.
