The punter placed a $50 four-leg Jockey Challenge multi with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.
He coupled Adelaide hoop Matthew Neilson ($5.00), into Brisbane’s Tim Bell ($4.80), Sydney premiership leader James McDonald ($3.50) and Melbourne gun Damien Oliver ($5.00).
Premiership battles are nearing an end and James McDonald has firmed from $2.60 into $2.20 to defend his Sydney title.
Oliver is $2.10 to win the Melbourne title over Craig Williams ($2.25).
“It’s tough finding a winner at the best of times, but full credit to this guy, who’s a contender for punter of the week. Four winners, four states….he deserves a medal as well as the huge collect,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
