No good Thursday

Two account bets today but no winners.

First up was Gordy Bee, 2pt win @ 4/1.
He ran poorly last time but there were excuses for thst run and he was expected to put that showing behind him today.

He played up in the stalls and missed the break slightly.
If he damaged himself slightly in the stalls or if the experience made him sulk is unknown but he didn't run his race at all.
He was under pressure with half a mile to run and finished tailed off, eased home.
We will find out if he went lame tomorrow and report back here.

Second up was Baile Anrai, 2pt win @ 6/1. B.O.G. paid 7/1.
This one was bought after winning a point to point in Ireland and looks a nice prospect on his homework.
His trainer had the favourite in the same race, Upthemsteps, but our runner has been working at least as good as that one and we were twice the price.

Baile Anrai travelled very well throughout but was badly hampered when Be True fell in front of him. That possibly affected his confidence as he made a mistake with 3 out, effectively ruining his chance.
He stayed on quite well to finish 4th behind the winner which annoyingly for us was Upthemsteps.

Baile Anrai is another one for the notebook though as he will be winning very soon.

Lots of snow around where we are based and it looks set to have its affect on racing over the next few days.
Hopefully we will get a few meetings on though as we have lots to look forward to.
