Customers at The Spread Eagle pub in Rayleigh came out tops in a Ladbrokes' top tipster competition.
Their prize was a £100 charity bet which they split between favourite Refuse to Bend, second favourite Brian Boru and Kris Kin, the outsider that won Saturday's race at Epsom Downs.
The £25 bet netted charity Cerebra £350 winnings plus the £100 stake money which was donated by the betting company.
