Charity set to scoop 2.75million from Tote bet at Kempton

There is one ticket playing for the totescoop6 bonus fund on Saturday afternoon and if the mystery punter picks the winner of the Racing Post Chase at Kempton (3.10pm) then he will donate all the winnings - £2,755,923 - to The Royal British Legion.This amazing gesture has caught the imagination of the betting and general public alike and representatives of The Royal British Legion, as well as servicemen past and present, will be at Kempton Park to watch events unfold.'The Legion is grateful for every donation large and small, but the generosity of this anonymous benefactor is quite remarkable,' said Russell Thompson, the Legion's Director of National Events and Fundraising. 'These winnings would make a material contribution to the welfare of our Armed Forces, past and present, and their families. Here's hoping our selection understands the importance of the race and runs like he's never run before.'Totepool managing director David Craven echoed the Legion's sentiments: 'The fact that the record-breaking run of the totescoop6 bonus fund has reached £2.75million is a great story in itself but the fact that it will be donated to The Royal British Legion if it is won gives the bonus race added significance. We wish the Legion the best of British on Saturday.'If the mystery punter is unsuccessful in picking the winner of the bonus race, then the Tote will place a £1000 bet on the eventual winner of the race meaning The Royal British Legion will get a donation whatever happens.This weekend's Scoop6 action takes place from Kempton, Newcastle and Chepstow with the highlights being the Racing Post Chase at Kempton and the totesport.com Eider Handicap Chase at Newcastle.The Tote are also offering their popular 'Price Promise' on two races tomorrow and if starting price beats the totewin dividend on either the Racing Post Chase or the totesport.com Eider Handicap Chase at Newcastle, then totepool guarantee to match the SP where applicable.Scoop6 Races Leg 1: 1.30pm Kempton - Racing & Football Outlook Handicap HurdleLeg 2: 2.20pm Newcastle - totescoop6 Handicap HurdleLeg 3: 2.45pm Chepstow - toteswinger Handicap HurdleLeg 4: 3.10pm Kempton - Racing Post ChaseLeg 5: 3.30pm Newcastle - totesport.com Eider Handicap ChaseLeg 6: 3.45pm Kempton - racingpost.com Adonis Juvenile Novices' Hurdle
