Four Blanks

Not a great run since our last blog a two days ago.

We have had four account bets, all unplaced.

Yesterday we had two bets. Ogee 2pt e/w @ 9/2. He was backed down into 11/4 but lost all chance when a faller in front of him all but brought him down.
We were also on a horse planned for a touch, Shawkantango 2pt e/w @ 15/2. She had been 100/1 on all three starts to date but was trying on her first handicap start. She was backed right down to 7/2 but missed the break and always struggled.

Today we had two account bets at Lingfield.
Musaafer 3pt win @ 15/8. Another who was well backed but with the lack of pace he had to make the running which didn't suit. He tried to quicken off the final bend but swallowed up.

We also backed Sennokian Storm, 3pt win @ 2/1. This very expensive purchase has been doing everything right at home but struggled on the track today. A very disappointing end to a bad week.

Bad runs are part of racing and this week has been our first bad run of the year. It happens and we need to ride it through.
We are still nicely in front for the year, not to mention the last two years but we understand this doesn't help members who have only recently joined.

There is some good racing to look forward to later this week and we have a huge list of runners expected to put in big performances when they run.

There may be an account bet tomorrow but probably not.
