Today's Results

A lot of bets and therefore a lot of points staked today.

Towcester:
Yossi - Lost despite leading early on. Tailed off = -1pt
Atherstone Hill - 2nd. Prominent throughout, and led for a good chunk of the race, but at the end always held up by the winner = -1pt

Southwell:
Feet Of Fury = Won at 2/1 advised price. Won comfortably, even able to ease toward the finish = +2pts
Ana Emerati = Won at 7/4 advised price. Finished strongly to hold win unchallenged = +1.75pts
Eilean Mor = 2nd (to Ana Emerati.) Chased Ana Emerati but could not force the issue = -1pt
Bentley = Won as our 3pt bet at 9/2 advised price. Looked like it was not going to do anything midway through but a storming finish saw it breeze home in the end. It even traded at 64/1 in running! A nice winner = +13.5pts
Toby Tyler = Lost. Didn't start too great and took time to get with the pace and never challenged = -2pts

Wolverhampton:
Takajan = Lost. Decent start and set the pace but one paced = -2pts
Elijah Pepper = 2nd by a nose. Decent start but it looked beaten until a late flourish saw it power home. Wasn't enough, just. = -2pts
Miami Gator = 4th. Led early on and stood a fair chance but couldn't find the extra. = -1pt
Appy Jack = Lost. Always at the rear and made no impression = -2pts
Bute Street = 2nd but comfortably. Outpaced = -1pt
Bromhead = Lost despite being in touch but then weakening = -1pt

Horse Racing P&L = +3.25

Again, despite a big winner with Bentley, and a profit for the day, one can't help but feel a slight bit of frustration. 4 2nd place finishes is always 'one of those' but it seems like Wolverhampton wasn't to be for us today!

Back tomorrow, hope you all got down
