Red figures were a red rag to punting bulls this week and, with the exception of the horse who seemed to have their name written all over the win, the TAB Big Bets went their way.
Amid plenty of activity at Ararat, favourite Victory George received plenty of support at a short clip but was comfortably upstaged by winner Jekamias, who defied a series of $10,000 bets.
However, a series of other short-priced fancies scored for their backers to feature in the TAB’s biggest bets from the past week:
