Weekend catch up

Almost another suoerb weekend for our members but in the end just a small profit...

On Saturday we backed Walkon, 1.5pt e/w @ 12/1
Alan King had done us a massive favour two weeks ago when we landed our maximum bet on Mille Chief and this one was fancied to run a very big race.

He was always travelling well in the rear of the pack and started to make some decent ground with 3 to jump.
He moved through smoothly and led jumping the last, only be to caught on the run in and beaten half a length. A superb run for a horse that had been off the track for so long and almost a lovely touch landed.

Alan suffered a torrid year last season and that is one of the reasons our profit was reduced from pervious years. He now has his string in superb form and they are only going to get better. His horses will be a fine asset to us over the coming months.

One small bet today, a poor one.
Desert Icon, 2pt win @ 4/1 is a very difficult horse to win with but it was hoped the softer handling today might just work the oracle.

In short, it didn't and he was pretty much in last place from the outset.
We wont be backing him again although he will probably pop up at a big price when least expected.

Lots to look forward to this week and we expect quite a few decent bets.

The season is really in full swing now and there is under two months to go to Cheltenham.
Speaking of which, we will probably have an ante post bet (or two) towards the end of the week for members as we start to look forward to the big one.
