LADBROKES Bookmakers gave away hundreds of pounds this week after donating charity bets to some hot racing tipsters.

Among them was Citizen photographer Robert Underdown who won £300 for Baby Beat after placing a £25 each way bet on the winner of the Epsom Derby, Benny the Dip.

And the MacMillan Nurses Fund is also £65 better off after Su and Eric Alston from Longton put a bet on their own horse Suez Tornado which came in forth at Doncaster.

Charity fund-raiser Doreen Breakell won £30 which will go towards a senior citizen's party.
