One punter capitalised on the rise of Chogi with a five-figure bet on the pacer before his victory at Charlton last Wednesday.

The TAB customer plonked $10,000 on the John Tormey-trained son of Betterthancheddar at $2.10 and was cheering when he went all the way to score in the Girrkitj (Ruby Saltbush) Pace.

The result was a third-straight win for Chogi and fourth triumph in his last five starts.

Below are some of the other big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week.
