Profitable but unlucky...

Two account bets for us today. A profit on the day but could have been much better.

First up was Sebastiano, 1pt e/w @ 20/1
This horse had started to be come frustrating and connections were hopeful the cheekpieces would work the oracle and spark him back to life.

Going off a 16/1 chance he race wide and up with the pace throughout.
Arguably going the best of all he was badly hampered going round the last bend by the loose horse, losing about 8 lengths as well as vital momentum.
He rallied well and still looked a possible winner but could only manage 3rd, beaten just 4 lengths.
The official form line was "raced wide in touch, headway to chase leaders when badly hampered and carried wide by loose horse after 3 out, rallied to 2nd and every chance 2 out, no extra and lost 2nd last"

A profit on the bet but could have been much better with some luck. There is no question in our mind he would have won with a clear run.

Our second bet was in a race where the setting sun caused many of the hurdles being dolled off and turning the race into a virtual NH flat race.

Rudanphast, 1pt e/w @ 14/1 was expected to put up a better show today after some extensive work at home.

He went off a 10/1 chance and although he was always in the front rank he was never travelling the best.
When asked to pick up with half a mile to run he did so moderately but only plugged on at the same pace to finish 4th, beaten about 6 lengths.

Five of our last six bets have run very well including Walkon, beaten just half a length at 12/1 and todays runners.
Ironically, the only one of those that ran poorly was Desert Icon who ran a cracker today, getting beaten by just a nose in second place.

We feel that we are close to another massive day happening soon as the luck does generally equal itself out. Hopefully that day will be soon, possibly tomorrow...

Thanks for reading.
