Year to end with £1.25million Scoop6 as ‘Clan’ claims King George

The Scoop6 win fund failed to be won once again on Boxing Day as Clan Des Obeaux, one of just three uncovered runners in the fourth leg, gave Paul Nicholls a tenth King George at Kempton.

With a win fund of £558,127 starting the final Saturday of the year, plus an unclaimed £540,356 bonus pot, over £1.25million looks set to be played for this weekend.

Earlier on in the afternoon, Glen Forsa scored at 7/1 for former footballer Mick Channon, followed by 5/1 shot Lake View Lad winning the Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase at Wetherby. That left 3920 tickets going into the third leg, where Teescomponents Lad won at 6/1 to send 382 units past halfway and into the King George VI Chase where the six-year-old struck.

Totepool spokesman Matt Hulmes said, “We are into the realms of life-changing sums now with the Scoop6, and a single winner on the final weekend of 2018 could be welcoming in 2019 as a Millionaire.”

The place fund paid £243.70 and was won by 255 units.
