Single father Shaun Bayford's luck suddenly changed when he backed four horses at Ascot.
Having been off work for months with a broken arm and been forced to pay a big vet's bill for his cat, Shaun was surprised when they all won and netted him almost £1,000.
Shaun, who lives in Southwick, picked the winners at random and made enough money for a holiday.
Now he and his kids will thank the four nags who turned out to be the mane attraction.
