One small bet for us today, starting 2011 with a small profit.
The message for Buffalo Bob, 2pt e/w @13/2 was a simple one. If he stayed he would probably win.
Our Kim Bailey contact has done us proud over the last couple of months and another big run was expected today.
Buffalo Bob was very well supported down to 4/1 at the off and lead pretty much from the start, as expected.
He traded at around 2.3 with 3 furlongs to go and it looked like we were really going to start the new year with a bang. Blazing Bailey was travelling ominously well though and to be fair, even if our selection had seen the trip out he probably wouldn't have beaten that one.
Buffalo Bob did struggle to see the trip out but plugged on well to get the place money in 4th place.
So, a slight profit to start the month and new year.
We currently have 5 January memberships to give away.
To enter all you need to do is to email us quoting 'January'
5 people will be picked at random and given memberships until the 31st January. The offer is open to new and existing members and ends on the 5th January.
Why not give it a go? You have nothing to lose...

A good finish to the year for our members with one account bet today.
Mallusk, 3pt win @ 7/2 has been waiting to run for a while now with the weather causing the delay.
Kim Bailey's yard continue to be in fine form and our connection there has done us proud over the last couple of months.
Mallusk raced in second position for the first part of the race and was always travelling well.
He joined the leader with a couple to jump and stayed on in impressive fashion to go away and win by 10 lengths.
That ended December in profit, our 9th profitable month from the 12.
Although we only ended the year just over 80 points in front compared to 300 points in the previous two years we feel its still an excellent performance.
Many tipping services have really struggled this year for various reasons and we have had a couple of bad runs in the year.
However, we have come through as we always will and its been a decent year overall.
Happy New Year to all who read this.
May the year ahead bring you peace, health and wealth.

With the weather affecting the racing in a big way at the moment we have plenty of time to catch up on the past few days action.
There were two bets on Friday and two bets on Saturday.
First up on Friday was Noble Citizen, 1pt e/w @ 14/1.
This horse has been running well recently without winning and continues to work well at home. He didn't get a clear run last time out and was fancied to run a decent race despite his wide draw.
He was held up and travelled wide throughout and ran ok without ever looking like winning.
He will win a race at some point but might need a slight drop in the weights before doing so.
Second up was another disappointing run.
Mavalenta, 3pt win @ 4/1 is going to the sales on Thursday and connections were desperate to get a win into her to boost her value.
She travelled well enough but when push came to shove with a couple of furlongs to go found little. A poor run.
On to Saturday which was much better.
First up was Sarde, 3pt win @ 9/2.
Kim Bailey has his horses in superb form right now and connections were pleased with the 5lb rise in the weights after her earlier win.
She travelled well throughout, racing on the inside. She made steady ground on the leaders and went into 3rd place with three to jump. She stayed on well under a good ride to lead on the run in. A brave and much needed win.
Secondly we had another runner from the Kim Bailey yard.
Regal Approach, 1.5pt e/w @ 11/1 desperately needed his first run of the season. An improved run was expected today.
This one travelled well throughout and always looked to be going best in running.
He led with a couple to jump and traded very short in running as the rest of the field started to all look like the race was in slow motion in the desperate ground!
In The Zone made up a bit of ground though and jumped into the lead over the last.
Under another great ride though, Regal Approach rallied and regained the lead inside the last half furlong.
Two great rides from brave horses giving us a superb Saturday.
We are now back to 17 points or so in profit and look certain to end November in profit after a very poor October.
We have a few to look forward to this week, including a couple from Saturday's hero Kim Bailey.
This weeks racing does look like it will be seriously affected by the weather though but we are also waiting for news of a 'Christmas money plot horse' on the all weather.
Here's hoping the improved run of form continues to keep us all warm in what looks like being an Arctic feeling week or two!
