He was almost bullied into submission but Bao Nien fought on to win by a tick under two metres from Bullys Delight, which was more than enough to lock in the sweet taste of success for one punter who nearly trebled their $5500 plunge.
That win was among the TAB bets of note from the last seven days of harness racing in Victoria.
