A PASSION for horse racing has put Brotton couple Alan and Barbara Mitchell on a winning-streak to hotter climes.
The couple, from Ripon Road, have so far won two holidays to Paris and an all-inclusive trip to Dubai.
But luck was still on their side this week when they won a 15-day Caribbean cruise.
Their lucky journey began last year when Mr Mitchell, an inspector at Esco Boundary, Guisborough, entered a race card competition at Redcar's racecourse. The outcome was a weekend trip to a horse racing track in Paris.
Winning this trip automatically entered the couple into another competition, headed by Go Racing in Yorkshire, winning the pair a trip to Dubai in March.
Trying his luck for a third time, Mr Mitchell entered the same Redcar competition a year later and won another trip to Paris.
But his luck was still not out - on Tuesday he won the luxury Caribbean cruise.
