The boom around recent arrival Mexicana hasn’t been lost on punters, with Josh Dickie’s Redwood Classic winner attracting a $20,000 play in his Breeders Crown heat.
The bold bid hit the mark, albeit by only a short half-head over Aldebaran Ursula, to headline the TAB.com.au bets of note from the last seven days of harness racing in Victoria.
