One punter was happy to risk a lot to win just a little at the Bendigo harness racing meeting on Wednesday last week.
The TAB customer whacked $8000 on Emma Stewart’s handy two-year-old Kingman at the rock bottom price of $1.04 before his easy victory in the Forty Winks 2YO Maiden Pace.
The result? A total profit of $320.
Another TAB punter copped a tough beat when their $5000 win bet on Markleigh Caz at $6.50 went under on July 16.
The Michael Gadsden-trained nine-year-old mare was badly held up in the final lap at Stawell and flashed home late to grab third, beaten 2.6m.
Below are some of the big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week.
