No hat trick

After a great day on Saturday with two winners from two bets we failed to make it a third on the trot today.

There was a good word all morning for Tijori, 2pt win @ 7/4.
Lots of support for this one saw the price collapse into odds on before drifting back out just before the off to 11/8 due to substantial support for the eventual winner, Majestic Dream - who was backed into 2/1 from 3/1.
The race itself was quite a messy affair and Tijori didn't get a great run when trying for a gap with around 300 yards to go and wasn't overly pushed from there when it was apparent he couldn't win.
To be fair he was never going to beat the winner who may go on to better things, especially when upped in trip.

Fortunately we only staked 2 points as we didn't know too much about the opposition.
Quite often we can rule a few runners out for one reason or another which obviously turns the tables very much in our favour. Other than a good word for Tijori today there were no negative words for anything in the race, hence the small stakes.

Glorious Goodwood starts tomorrow and there will amost certainly be at least one account bet.
We are also waiting for a big bet at the Galway Festival later in the week but that one is ground dependant.

So, some good racing to come this week and we are expecting a very good week.

Lets hope it all goes to plan!
