One five-figure punter had a little bit of luck go their way at Bendigo last Friday night.
The TAB customer placed a huge $11,221 wager on Gaelic Lad at $1.85 and would have been very nervous when Naked Ambition loomed up alongside Antti Ruokonen’s squaregaiter in the home straight.
But just as the Peter Romero-trained trotter appeared to be running past the leader, she made a mistake and galloped out of contention, allowing Gaelic Lad to cling on and score victory.
Below are some of the other big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week.
