Cheltenham Festival punter cleans up with mega double that lands him over £12,000

Day One of the Cheltenham Festival swept by in a flash with some typical thrills and spills.

And there were some shock results and big winners emerging from famous old course on Tuesday night.

Cheltenham always grips social media and one huge win left punters open-mouthed.

Twitter user @brisworld posted a screenshot of the mega bet that secured him almost £12,500.

The first was an each way double on Edwardstone at 11/4 in the 2.10 Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase and Corach Rambler at 10/1 in the 2.50 Ultima Handicap Chase.

Both horses sped home as winners to net the punter £12,490 from a £500 total stake.

The Twitter account, under the name Brian Martin, captioned the big win with "just back f*****g winners".

If only it were that simple, Brian.

Day Two will follow hot on the heels of Tuesday's action, including the Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Coral Cup.
