Another close one

One account bet today, a close run thing.

Ackertac, 1.5pt e/w @ 15/2 was fancied to put in a big run after a poor run last time.
There were excuses for his last run and previously he was brought down when going well. A place was the minimum that was expected by connections today

Well backed all day, he went off at 11/2, touching as low as 9/2 five minutes before the off.

He was always in the front rank and travelling well. He took a clear lead with 4 to jump and with 2 to jump was trading at 1.18 on Betfair. It was looking like we had landed another nice touch!

However, Seren Rouge rallied well and Al Co started to make good progress.
It was a war of attrition with Al Co getting on top close home to win by just over a length. Ackertac finished second.

Another very good run and a small profit on the day but another bet where it could have been much much better.

We remain over 30 points up for February though and it now looks certain to be out 4th winning month on the trot.

Its unlikely there will be a bet tomorrow but there should be one on Friday as well as Saturday.

We hope to have a nice one to look forward to a week on Friday as well, ground permitting.
