Change of luck?

Two account bets yesterday, the first one possibly signalling a change of luck for the better.

We backed, Cathedral Spires, 4pt win @ 15/8.
We had been waiting for this runner for a while and it was very frustrating to watch the price tumble while we were waiting for the bookies to price the race up.
We had our email typed up and ready to go at just after 7am but had to wait until just after 9am when the first markets opened to send it. He was closer to 7/2 at 7am on Betfair, having been matched at 10 overnight (reduced to 9.13 after the rule 4)
We have toyed with the idea of advising Betfair prices so we can send some bets out earlier but the majority of members didn't favour that idea as the prices can be too volatile and not everyone can get on.
Anyway, we took the 15/8 and he continued to be well backed into evens at the off.

He led, pretty much from the start but looked set to be beaten as he was headed inside the final furlong. He battled back bravely to get back up on the line though for what looked at first watch a good performance.
On watching the race again though the second, Ice Trooper, wasn't given the strongest of rides so perhaps we were lucky with that one.
A winner is a winner though and after a very unlucky month or two its nice to get one going our way.

We also backed King Of Eden, 4pt win @ 9/4.
This one continues to improve and it is thought he may make into a group race performer in time.
He ran a pretty good race, despite being niggled along halfway through the race and looked set to win with a furlong to go. The winner came with a decent run though and we could only manage 3rd.
He possibly wasn't running on the fastest part of the track but connections are also aware that he has had a lot of racing in the last couple of months and a short rest may be in order.

We sent out one early account bet for today which has already been well backed as expected.
There should be at least one more account bet to come before 12.30.

Glorious Goodwood starts on Tuesday, on of our favourite meetings of the year.
We have a few bets lined up already and are hoping for a very profitable end to the month.
