The overwhelmed fan, named Brad Wilson, was mobbed by his pal as he yelped in pure joy.
Brad captioned his post: "Does it get any better? #Cheltenhamfestival."
His post subsequently went viral, with plenty of his fellow punters sharing their admiration.
Stephen Power wrote: "Nice work boys."
While a second fan commented: "Love to see it."
A third gushed: "That’s class. Well done mate."
And a fourth added: "Quality mate."
Brad began his fivefold by picking Slade Steel in the 13:30 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.
His next pick was Gaelic Warrior in the 14:10 Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase.
Chianti Classico then came in for Brad in the 14:50 Handicap Steeple Chase.
He then successfully picked Lossiemouth in the Mares’ Hurdle Race at 16:10, before rounding off the day with Corbetts Cross.
Brad was asked by a social media user for his day two picks.
But he cheekily replied: "You don’t want know, that’s my luck done for the year mate."
