So that brings us up to speed on horse racing, and it sort of feels like we have ticked over slowly, with not really too much happening. I guess considering the October we had last year, this is an improvement, but still over the period discussed we have lost -9.375pts (which can all be related to that one real bad day.) It isn't a disaster, as October is known to come with extra variables with being the end of the flat and start of the NH season. We just hope that in hitting November we can hit some decent form soon enough and start ramping up the profit, fingers crossed!
