One TAB customer was playing it very safe with the final favourite on Saturday night’s Nutrien Equine Classic card at Melton.
Bay Of Biscay started $1.07 on the fixed odds before his victory in the final for three-year-old colts and geldings, but one punter decided the $1.02 for the Emma Stewart-trained pacer to run a place was good enough.
The customer had $5000 on the horse to fill one of the top three placings and pocketed $100 profit for their wager.
It was one of the big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week, and you can check out some of the others below.
