Nice touch landed

One account bet for us today.

All eyes were on Aintree but there was a plot horse running at Bangor.
Hazy Tom, 3pt win @ 7/2 was strongly fancied by connections to land a nice touch today.
Our comments were "While all eyes are on Aintree the yard are trying to land a little touch with this one today. He won a point to point race two months ago and looks a fairly decent prospect at home. Very little is known about the opposition so we are keeping stakes sensible but are expecting a big run today."

The 4/1 with Paddy Power and Hills went as we were typing the email which was annoying. It was still available with Sky Bet and Sporting Bet but it isn't fair to use those prices in our results as they aren't exactly known for taking a 'proper' bet.

Very well backed down to 7/4 favourite at the off, Hazy Tom was always in a decent position on the inside and although he was short of room with around half a mile to run could be called the winner by that stage.
He hit the front with a furlong to run and came away comfortably.

A decent day and that ended what has been a very nice week for us.

Some great racing lined up over the next week and the flat season is now really starting to get going.
Lots lined up and we are expecting a great time over the next few months.

Nice easy winner

One account bet today, our first bet of the week because of the weather.

Dubai Hills, 2pt win @ 3/1 came with a pretty straightforward message this morning. "If he stays, he wins"
On normal Southwell ground we would have staked much larger but with the ground certain to run slow because of the ground we were very sensible.

We shouldn't have worried!

Dubai Hills was soon in the lead and always travelled comfortably.
When asked to put the race to bed he did so easily and drew away to win by 13 lengths.

We are hopeful there will be a bet tomorrow but, as with today, we won't force a bet just for the sake of it.

Weather permitting we have at least one strong bet lined up for Boxing Day and one to look forward to on New Years Eve.
