Caught another good one!

Two account bets today and it didn't quite happen for us.

The first bet, Love Delta, 2pt win @ 4/1 was disappointing.
He was fancied to improve for being back on fibresand but he was never looking like the winner. No excuses for that one.

Our second bet ran into a very good horse. The second time this has happened recently.
We had been waiting a long time for Elshabakiya, 4pt win @ 5/2 to run as she is one of the best 2yo's in the yard. The price was taken as early as 6pm last night on Betfair - we mentioned it in last nights blog - so it was no surprise to see her drift on course near the off. We mentioned it in the morning message that it was vital we were on best odds guaranteed.
There were clearly a lot of other horses fancied in this hot maiden as money came for half the field and she drifted to 6/1.

She ran a great race but ran into a very good one, Maqaasid who beat her half a length.
Frustrating as she beat the 3rd horse home by a length and a quarter with the rest of the fiels well stretched out in just a 5 furlong race.

Thats the 4th selection we have had this month finish 2nd so although we are still being a bit unlucky almost every horse is running well. On another day they come home in front and we would be very well in profit for the month.

We remain in profit for May though, albeit slight.

Nothing lined up yet for tomorrow but that may change. This week has already been much busier than expected.
