This is an unbelievable story!

In 1964, a horse called SANTA CLAUS won the Derby at Epsom.

Last week week, a construction worker discovered a time capsule from 1964.

Inside were four old English coins and a handwritten note.

The note instructed whoever found it to use the coins to place a bet on "a horse in the Derby whose name can be associated with Santa Claus."

So the finder did exactly that.

And would you believe it...

CHRISTMAS DAY won the Derby! 🀯

60 years after the note was written.

Coincidence? Lucky guess? Or something else?

What do you think?
