Big Bets: Protest to put shiver up spine

There were no shortage of heart in mouth moments for one punter whose $17,000 plunge on Forty Thieves had to survive not only a tight half-head result but a protest to follow.

Fortunately for this punter the result stood and his bet stands in the ‘winners are grinners’ section of the TAB bets of note from the last seven days of harness racing in Victoria.
