Bad start to the week

Not the start to the week we were hoping for today with two very poor runs.

Our first bet was Born To Perform 3pt win @ 6/4.
Alan's horse was a very unlucky loser for us last time out when he wasn't given the best of rides and could only manage second at 9/1. Fallon was on board today in an interesting jockey change.
The horse travelled well in for two miles or so but patently didn't stay. Disappointing.

Our second bet was also disappointing. Sir Rocky, 2pt win @ 15/8.
He was said to be the better of Hannon's two runners but played up in the paddock before the race and drifted from 11/8 to 2/1.
Once in the stalls things didn't improve as he veered left when the gates opened and ran green throughout.

Not the best of days, with the only crumb of comfort that we are still staking small.
The last week has been one step forward, two steps back. A nice double on Friday followed by a good run by Lady Of The Desert on Saturday but then two very poor runs today.

We have a fairly quiet week coming up but there will be at least two bets between now and Saturday.
The weather looks set to remain good and there are certainly no excuses on that front.

Two of our favourite trainers have runners tomorrow so there may be a bet. We will wait for an update tomorrow.
