One TAB customer was rejoicing when Rebecca East landed a rare Melton victory on Saturday night.
The punter placed $5000 on East’s four-year-old Operative Line at $3.30 before his all-the-way victory in the Welcome Renown Silverware Pace.
The result? A juicy $16,500 collect.
That was one of the big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week. See some of the other major wagers below:
