One outta two

Some great racing today at Cheltenham but out two account bets were at Lingfield.

First up was Secret Asset, 3pt win @ 5/2.
This horse has been very consistent all season and is better than ever at home. He had to take the long route round last time and was well fancied to win today.

He went off a well backed 15/8 favourite and the race panned out perfectly.
He was well settled at the back of the pack and came round the outside to win with relative ease. A good race to watch as he looked the winner for much of the race. Not much concern throughout.

Our second bet was Baylini, 4pt win @ 2/1.
This horse has been hard to win with but the drop in grade and step up in trip was expected to work the oracle today.

For much of the race we seemed to be watching a replay of Secret Asset's race as Baylini was settled at the rear of the field and started to make ground with a couple of furlongs to run.
Unfortunately he didn't pick up as well as expected and although he plugged on well, could only manage 3rd, beaten about a neck.

Two good runs and a profit on the day again though so we can't complain.

There is a horse we were interested in tonight but not strong enough to be an account bet.

In the 6.20 at Wolverhampton, Taurakina is well fancied.
The money in the race for Sunset Kitty has to be respected though from this yard and we will leave the race alone.

There is a good chance of an account bet tomorrow but nothing certain just yet.

The week ahead looks promising with a few bets already planned including a Christmas plot horse, weather permitting...!
