OWNER Tony Bloom celebrated a famous win double yesterday as his Brighton beat bitter rivals Crystal Palace after his horse romped to victory at Cheltenham.
The professional gambler saw Energumene retain his Queen Mother Champion Chase crown by 10 lengths in his blue and white colours.
Bloom was thought to be the punter behind two huge bets which won a further £830,000 after admitting he had “a few quid on”.
The Brighton chairman took a helicopter to see Brighton win by a smaller margin but draw level on points with Liverpool in pursuit of the even bigger prize of European football.
Solly March scored the winner after 15 minutes of a feisty clash – on March 15.
But on the Ides of March, this was another stark warning that Palace’s Premier League future is in danger after a 12th consecutive game without a win.
