- Dylan Phelan has placed a double of € 30 with the ladbrokes on two horses
- The 25 -year -old placed a Paris series in April 2024 but was denied gains
The stable boy at the heart of the controversy of the bets is now richer in 100,000 € after Ladbrokes made the decision to settle his bet that changes his life.
Dylan Phelan, a 25 -year -old who works for the coach based in Waterford, Declan Queally, had placed a Paris sequence on April 19, 2024 on two horses called Diamond Nora and Rocky’s Diamond by City’s Yard.
Phelan has placed bets with bar One Racing and Paddy Power, having had a respective chances of 125/1 and 80/1, but saved his greatest investment for Ladbrokes, with whom he had a double of € 30.
The Rocky diamond finally returned a winner of 22/1 of a first obstacle to Limerick, while Diamond Nora broke out in the first obstacle of a balline cords at 16/1. This meant that Phelan was stretched to potentially pocket an amazing € 319,440 (£ 272,694).
The terms and conditions of LADBROKES for the bets in cash placed in stores with a maximum payment of € 100,000.
But the Irish HorseRacing Irish Regulatory Council (IHRB) had been alerted to the results concerning the results, because Diamond and Diamond Nora of Rocky left their previous shape – none of them had won a race before this afternoon – kilometers behind.
Dylan Phelan placed a double of € 30 in two horses during races in Ireland last year
His bet with Ladbrokes would have seen him bring back to house € 319,440 (273,669.04 £)
However, bookmakers said that the decision not to pay in the middle of a current investigation is in accordance with their conditions
Consequently, Ladbrokes retained the payment of the bet until the investigation was completed. The survey results must still be discovered and have prompted Phelan this week to go to social networks and explain its situation.
He said in a video published on YouTube that his mental health had been affected by the delay.
The representatives of Ladbrokes had declared Wednesday to Mail Sport that they were ready to honor the bet once the conclusions were revealed, but, after discussions, the company now made the decision to pay even if the investigation was not completed.
In a shared press release with Mail Sport, the company said: “ We have now discussed this issue with the Irish milk regulatory council (IHRB) in order to seek a resolution as quickly as possible.
“Although the IHRB is unable to provide details on the survey or its probable duration, we are convinced that it is advisable to pay the relevant bets in accordance with our general conditions.”
The Rocky diamond continued to prove itself as an intelligent artist and running in graduated races, finishing fourth in Bob Olinger in Cheltenham last month. In an ironic turn, he entered the Champion of Ladbrokes Hurdle Hurdle in Punhetown next week.
