Small profit

One account bet for us today and it was one of our biggest bets of the year so far.

There was an extremely good word for Elkmait, 3pt e/w @ 9/2. (Best Odds Guaranteed was 13/2)
Thought to be an extremely promising filly, big things were expected on her debut and a place was the absolute minimum that was expected by connections.
We weren't concerned by the big drift before the off because the price had been smashed up on Betfair before the high street bookies had priced the market up. - There is often an on course drift when this happens as the on course bookies have no liability on a horse that was backed at bigger prices over night, hence pushing the price out on course.

She ran a good race to get 3rd but wasn't in the same league as the winner who looks a very nice horse and is apparently Royal Ascot bound next. Elkmait didn't get the best of runs inside the final furlong when she started getting the hang of things and may have got second but that pays the same as third so no problem! Small profit on the day, thanks for the on course drift.

Elsewhere there was a good word for Soul Station at Goodwood. He was given a great ride from the front and won with the second home (Hypnotized) possibly an unlucky loser.

We have a bet lined up tomorrow but again its being smashed on Betfair already so word is out.
We will evaluate in the morning and see how the ground lies.
