One punter was rejoicing when La Belle Bijoux ended a sequence of two runner-up placings and scored a deserved victory at Melton on Saturday night.
The TAB customer placed a $5000 bet on the Kari Males-trained pacer at $5 before her win in the Logical Staffing Solutions Pace.
The $15,000 collect was in direct contrast to another big TAB punter who had placed $3000 on the horse La Belle Bijoux beat - the Kyle Marshall-prepared Hugo Maguire - in the same race.
