Sammy Showdown’s won plenty of fans but his win at Melton on Saturday night would have been heart-in-mouth stuff for one punter, whose $32,000 investment had to survive a tough run before Kylie Sugars’ young trotter saluted.
In addition to plenty of support for Ride High and some value picks which paid off, the Sammy Showdown plunge is the eye-catcher in this week’s TAB.com.au bets of note from the last seven days of harness racing in Victoria:
