Oh Lucky Man!

The first thing the MP's gave us is the race card from last years Derby, I take it that the EUREKA!! written across it was because a Jones's horse had come up trumps.
One other piece of evidence they handed over was a betting slip from the race. Seems like Ouroboros, although favourite did not win, coming in sixth, but his other horse, Calydonian Boar did. By the looks of the odds on the slip he must have drifted out to 15 to 1 from the initial declared odds. With a £2500 bet to win, Jones would have cleared nigh on £37000. The slip was the on course Tote, wonder if he had other bets?
Both his horses were carrying the heaviest weights I see.
