Your support makes all the difference.The Tote Jackpot may prove an irresistible lure for punters today as finding the six winners at Brighton will secure them a portion of a pool that is expected to be worth more than £1m. Some stunning results at Bath yesterday produced a rollover of £621,255 to Brighton and the pool is expected to be in the five highest of all time.
The Tote Jackpot may prove an irresistible lure for punters today as finding the six winners at Brighton will secure them a portion of a pool that is expected to be worth more than £1m. Some stunning results at Bath yesterday produced a rollover of £621,255 to Brighton and the pool is expected to be in the five highest of all time.
Punters got off to a bad start yesterday when the 25-1 chance Montev Lady romped home in the opener, paying £218.90 to a £1 stake on the Tote's win pool. That ruled out 99.7 per cent of the £367,756 staked yesterday, leaving only £1,054.13 to roll on to the second race. Goldie's 16-1 victory in that event left only £6.55 running on to the third leg and interest ended after the fourth leg when Shaanxi Romance, carrying the last 18p still running, finished only third.
The Tote's spokesman, Rob Hartnett, said: "If it isn't won at Brighton then we could see the pool approaching the highest ever, which was more than £2m at Exeter in 1995."

1. Exeter 22.3.1995 £2,050,651;
