Nabbed on the line, again!

Very unlucky with our only account bet of the day today.
Twentynineblack, 3pt win @ 7/2 always travelled nicely and was sent for home with a couple of furlongs to run. The race looked all over but the long run in did us and he was caught on the line by Montoya's Son. Great ride by the jockey on the winner.
Twentynineblack traded 1.11. in running and to be honest its surprising it wasn't shorter than that.

Strangely thats the second account bet that has traded 1.11 in running and been caught on the line in two weeks. Lowdown was the other one.
Adding in the fact that we have had two account bets going lame in the last couple of weeks (Greylami and Signs In The Sand) we might consider ourselves a little unlucky.

Luck does come and go in circles though so we won't lose any sleep over it.

Elsewhere today there was a good word for Tombi in the 2.00 and Pyrrha in the 2.10.
Both were each way fancies and neither race had 8 runners so we didn't play. Tombi ran a poor race but Pyrrha battled on well from her good draw to win well.

Mahonia is fancied in the 4.10 and there is a good word for Mahaala in the 7.20 tonight. Word is out on that one though and the price has crashed but its one to keep an eye on.

Its unlikely there will be a bet tomorrow but there is lots to look forward to next week.
There is some great racing with York's Dante meeting, a sign that the flat season has really arrived. If we are involved in any photo finished there we hope they will go our way!

We have a plot horse that is lined up for the middle of the week as well. It will only run if the ground is ok but the weather looks favourable at this stage.

Paris found

A nice and extremely welcomed winner today as Lost in Paris, 3pt win @ 5/2 landed a nice little touch.
Considered very well handicapped over the minimum distance he was well supported down to 7/4 and won with ease. Setting a fast pace, nothing could ever get close to him as he won by three and a half lengths, eased down.
Three of our last four account bets have now run very well (Lowdown, Riggins and Lost In Paris) with only Seta running poorly.

Elsewhere there was a good word for Colorado Gold in the 2.30 We were tempted by a small each way bet at 12/1 but the each way terms of 1,2,3 in a 15 runner race where only two or three runners could be realistically ruled out didn't suit us.
As it was he ran a good race, finishing 2nd @ 8/1. The winner, Fifth Ave landed a nice gamble (11/1 into 5/1) in very impressive fashion. With 4 future entries she will be very interesting if taking up one of those in the next few days.

Chester starts tomorrow. Some decent horses will be on show but there will no doubt be some hard luck stories around those tight bends.
We will be on course on Friday and have a bet lined up but we never stake too heavily there, because of the nature of the course.

There is a horse or two we are looking at already for tomorrow and there should hopefully be an account bet.

Until then, thanks for reading.
