Results Update - Horse Racing

Tuesday 17th
Dowds Destiny never in contention = -1pt

Wednesday 18th
Kinkeel 2nd as the 2pt bet = -2pts
Ballyoliver fell at the 2nd = -1pt
Cedre Bleu WON, staying on well @ 11/10 advised = +1.1pts
Final Delivery, another 2pt bet, weakened = -2pts
Querido WON @ advised 12/1, but a host of withdrawals saw a large 55p rule 4 affect profits. That said, with BOG concession, the bet returns at 8/1 SP, meaning +8pts.
Chookie Avon never in it = -1pt

Not good for the 2pt bets, and unfortunately a chunk of the profit wiped out on Querido, but still a +3.1pt day

Thursday 19th
Eldred also let us down as a 2pt bet, didn't look quite right = -2pt
Double Whammy, made errors and mistakes in a bumbling run = -1pt
Drumshambo never in it = -1pt

A bad day = -4pts

Friday 20th
Hammer went very close, coming 2nd at big odds = -1pt
Matmata De Tendron unseated rider when going well = -1pt
Treehouse fell, also when going well and in touch = -1pt
Great Gusto 2nd, a mistake on the last meaning had no chance = -1pt
Tiger Maguire one paced =-1pt
Notabotheronme well beaten = -1pt
Rodrigo De Freitas way back = -1pt
First Class went off odds on, but only 3rd = -1pt

A really bad day. It happens sometimes with some bigger priced stuff, and we have in all honesty had a decent run on larger priced stuff recently. Having said that, if either Treehouse or Matmata could have finished, may have been a different story. -8pts

Saturday 21st
The Rainbow Hunter 2nd, but a good few lengths back, again though at 10/1 SP = -1pt
Busy Isit pulled up = -1pt
Oldrik weakened = -1pt
Violin Davis WON @ advised 5/1, after a super run. Well backed too = +5pts
All For Free always battling = -1pt
Wisecraic just one paced as another 2pt bet bit the dust = -2pts
The Strig, a narrow 2nd, just required a bit more = -1pt
Reindeer Dippin WON @ advised 7/1, going off a well backed 4/1f. Ridden well to win with ease = +7pts
Sphinx weakened = -1pt
Tatenen WON @ advised 12/1, again backed a touch into 8/1 SP. Just held on by a head with the last stride = +12pts

So overall a really good Saturday, with 3 winners with two 2nd places as well. A very healthy +16pts added to the bank, but also a notice of a nice bit of fortune with Tantenen to win so late on!

Sunday 22nd
Swansbrook drifted in the betting, and was never threatening = -1pt

Monday 23rd
Might Clarets, another 2pt loser, but was heavily backed, but lacked the final pace = -2pts
City Legend WON @ 4/1 staying on just, despite leading from 5f out = +4pts
Spin Cast only 3rd, but one paced = -1pt
Vanilla Rum never troubling = -1pt

So with one winner @ 4/1, but 4pts lost, it is a nothing day.

Horse Racing Summary
Very nice to get another big day behind us to boost the numbers. Has been a while since we have had a good day, when racing is known to be extra competitive. 6 winners over the period, and 27 losers, which in all honesty is in keeping with our average strike rate. +5.1pts is the profit over the period, with that bad Friday affecting things. One thing which has been noted, is the performance of the 2pt bets, which is not up to where we would like it to be. We are not doing anything differently, but it is being monitored closely.

Football to follow next.
