The bookies were Gobsmacked at Bendigo when chips were moved in on the Shaun McNaulty-trained pacer and when the Little Master, Brian Gath, held on to win by a short half-head the punter took the lot.

That victory at double-figure odds heads up the TAB bets of note from the last seven days of harness racing in Victoria.
