No Restriction helped land a lucky punter $30,000 from a $1 bet

A punter on Melbourne Cup day with the TAB has proven themselves to be a genius after nailing the First 4 in the second race of the day at Flemington – with just a single $1 outlay!

The NSW punter correctly selected $41 shot No Restriction on top and went ‘one out’ with the Archie Alexander runner. They then picked Pride Of Jenni, Ripper Rita and Sweet Reply straight out finish second, third and fourth respectively.

The First 4 on the NSW TAB paid a whopping $30,070.10 thanks largely to the favourites Joviality and Twains Express failing to figure in the finish.
