The progressive Captain Hammerhead produced one of the standout performances at Melton on Saturday night and the result was popular with some TAB customers.
Bets of $8000 and $4000 were taken on the David Moran-trained pacer before he sat parked to win the Hygain Pace.
Those wagers were among the big hits on Victorian harness racing last week, with some of the others listed below.
