Bank Holiday Monday

A profitable day today but it could have been much, much better.

Our first bet of the day was Born To Perform, 1pt e/w @ 9/1.
We were told they were expecting significant improvement today, taking a big step up in trip. The horse read the plot but unfortunately Robert Winston didn't.
We often say we hate hammering jockeys for a bad ride because its an easy way out but we can consider ourselves very unfortunate here.
Absolutely cruising for the final 4 furlongs he traded 1.2 in running but was caught out by a late run from Sendali and couldn't get back up once passed, to be beaten a head.

These things happen and we will have our lucky days just as we have unlucky ones.

Our second bet of the day was Wovoka, 2pt e/w @ 9/2. Best Odds Guaranteed meant we got 13/2.
There was a big gamble on the favourite, Mr Rainbow, who was backed right down to 7/4. He failed to show at all though.
Wovoka was held up in rear and brought to challenge two furlongs out. He ran a decent enough race without ever looking like winning but we got the place money as he got up for third.

So, a small profit on the day. Could have been better but on a tricky days racing but we will take that.

On a blogging note we will only blog on days when we have an account bet now.
We have bets on average 5 days a week so will still be blogging most nights.

The weather looks set to settle down towards the end of the week so all being well we will get some decent ground as we have loads to look forward to.

There is a good chance of an account bet tomorrow but we are waiting on a call or two in the morning.
