Two $10,000 wagers hit the mark during a big week of punting across Victorian harness racing tracks.
One TAB customer placed the five-figure sum on Neatntidy at $1.70 before Aaron Dunn’s charge cruised in to win the VHRC/Benstud 3YO Maiden Pace at Swan Hill on Sunday, August 20, while another $10,000 bet at $1.70 landed when Wayne Potter and Nathan Jack teamed up to get Spyglass home in the Alabar 3YO Pace at Shepparton on Friday night.
While those punters collected, respective $10,000 and $8000 wagers on Hugo Maguire went amiss when Brent Lilley’s runner dropped out sharply to run last a short time after Spyglass’ victory.
Below are some of the big bets taken by the TAB on Victorian harness racing last week.
