Wrong one out of three

Got it wrong today with three races we could play in resulting in two profits.
Unfortunately the race we had an account bet yielded a loser.

We backed, Lady Of The Desert 3pt win @ 15/8 at Newbury.
We kept the stakes sensible as she has played up going to post in the past which she did again today.
She also pulled much too hard for the first couple of furlongs and these two factors were largely responsible for her not winning. If you can have impressive losers, she certainly was one of these.
When asked the question from Fallon she responded almost instantly and went a length or so clear and traded as low as 1.32 in running.
Unfortunately she ran out of gas and was caught in the last 100 yards.
The feedback after the race was that she blew up, largely due to being over excited before and during the race rather than failing to stay. Her next race is planned to be the French Guineas.

Elsewhere we mentioned a couple of other races in our email to members.

We gave a good mention to Dick Turpin in the Greenham as a sensible each way bet at 8/1 providing all 5 went to post.
Canford Cliffs is still probably the better horse but Dick Turpin showed good resolution to get up close home.

In the Scottish Grand National we had good words for both Gone To Lunch and Dom d'Orgeval.
Many bookmakers were paying 5 places and those who played with them would have had both horses placed. Gone To Lunch was second and Dom d'Orgeval was fifth.

A few members have emailed saying they backed the other horses as well as the account bet so showed a profit on the day.

Overall, we didn't get it quite right today and the results show a 3 point loss on the day.
However, we can take slight heart that all our information was spot on. We just played the wrong race on the day.

We are unlikely to have an account bet tomorrow but we have a couple of calls to make in the morning so we will see.
