We have a new website coming soon and are planning on blogging on most days as part of that so please remember to keep dropping by...
A good start to March and to be fair it was needed after a pretty poor February.
Just one bet on the day but it was a fairly big stake with 6pts win on Saddlers Bend at 6/5.
Our contacts at George Baker's rarely let us down and while they didn't here but it was mighty close. Saddlers Bend was full of running as he hit the front with over a furlong to go and quickly traded 1.2 in running but certainly found the extended mile slightly too far and just held on.
The second, King's Icon could be considered an unlucky loser but after some bad luck last month we deserved some luck coming our way!
Away from the account bet there was a good late word for Edgevine in the last at Plumpton but we steered away from a bet because the ground was pretty desperate by then. He managed 3rd at 10/1 but with only seven runners we were right not to play.
We have one small account bet today and lots to look forward to in March as the weather will hopefully settle down and allow us some steady ground over the coming weeks.
We have lots of ante post bets for Cheltenham and all are looking good value at this stage with the exception of Mille Chief who is now a doubtful runner.
Two weeks and counting until Cheltenham starts...

I agree that the close winner was fair on us, as Feb was like you say very poor, especially for those members who missed the late bet "Alfie Sherrin " so I was -27 for Feb, not your fault of course, but really pleased to get back to winning ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteAgree Feb wasn't great but we have to ride the bad times just the same as we do the good times.
Its impossible to win all the time.
October to January showed almost 200 points profit so we were more than covered when a bad month came along, as it will do again at some point.
We have had approx 3 losing months each year over the last 2 years so they will happen.
Lets hope March isn't another one of those bad ones!
