Weekend Results Update

So finally, football turned a corner! We saw off September with a winning day, and I will take this as one year.

Horses:

Friday:
A quiet day with only the two bets

Thimaar WON @ advised 10/1, and was well backed into 6/1 SP. Always in contention, and had the extra pace to pull clear and win well = +10pts
Maher 3rd, but well back = -1pt

So a very nice +9pts with the last day of the month to finish a very good year.

Saturday:
Much busier day, and I apologise for not posting up the prices advised initially. I will take the SP for those with no price

Absolute Shambles led early on, and always prominent. Tailed off after blunder = -1pt
Arctic Cosmos 2nd led too, fell back a touch but came back strongly, but held off = -1pt
Smarty Socks 2nd, despite being held up early on, with a decent run towards the end. No chance with the winner though = -1pt
Campanology WON @ 11/10. Ran prominently and travelled well. Soon leading and won well = +1.1pts
Art History WON @ adv 6/1, by a short head. Chased well and pressed to just claim victory on the line. Nice when these things go for you! +6pts
Faiz 2nd just lacked the extra = -1pt
Jonny Lesters Hair led, but weakened = -1pt
Igoyougo 2nd after running very well. Always at the front, and just pipped = -1pt
Hidden Glory 2nd just lost out, after leading until late on. Just beaten = -1pt

So although Hidden Glory was a nice winner in the way he won on the line, a couple of other narrow defeats cost us unfortunately. Still a slim 0.1pts on the day.

Sunday:
Grandad's Horse WON @ short odds of 5/6. Tracked leader, made move and pulled well clear = +0.83pts
Rossmore Lad in contention but one paced = -1pt
Songe fell, just as began closing towards the lead = -1pt
Toshi well beaten = -1pt

So not the best days in terms of performance = -2.17pts

Monday:

Eastern Gift chased early on, but no impression = -1pt
Crown Counsel 3rd, just a bit one paced when needed to up the gear = -1pt

-2pts for today.

Football:
A much more satisfying weekend, and a great way to see out a dismal September.

Heracles won 2-0 = +0.36pts
Dagenham won 2-1 with a late winner as a 1.5pt bet. = +1.365
Gillingham lost 3-1 = -1pt
Ipswich won 3-1 as a 1.5pt bet = +1.95pts
Luton won, but did not drift to 1/2, so no bet.
Peterboro lost 1-2 as a 1.5pts bet = -1.5pts
Portsmouth lost 1-0 = -1pt
Scunthorpe won 1-2, with a late 2nd goal proving vital before Stevenage pulled one back = +2.26pts
Bilbao won 1-2 = +1.93pts
Udinese won 2-0 = +0.53pts

So a good strike rate with 66.67% and a profit returned of +4.895pts. Most welcome!
