Bloody hell, a winning day!
Cinders And Ashes triumphed in the Supreme Novices Hurdle, staying on well up the hill = +10pts
Hazy Tom couldn't ever find much room, and was a bit off the pace = -2pts
Mossley pulled up = -1pt
Garde Champetre pulled up early on = -1pt
Bless The Wings never really got going = -1pt
Terrie Express weakened = -1pt
River Rhapsody went of fav, but never got going, finishing well last = -1pt
So with a winner in the first race of the Festival was a great way to kick things off, but unfortunately we couldn't manage another winner which would have been very nice (and helpful!) That said, Wizardbet's condolences go out to the connections of Garde Champetre, Educated Evans and Scotsirish who all died after suffering injuries whilst running today. This is truly the horrible face of racing. I am not privy to the ins and outs as to the ground being at fault, that it can't be watered and so on, but the authorities have to be 100% that a race can go ahead in only the safest conditions.
We recorded +3pts on the day.
Football:
And another late goal! But at least one went for us this time! This however, still needs to happen several more times before we feel it levels itself out.
Cambridge edged out Barrow in a close fought encounter 1-0, with 87th min strike = +1.13pts
Rotherham battered Torquay, with 17 shots (and 12 on target.) That is the 4th game running they have cost us money = -2pts
Tranmere fought back from 1 nil down to win 2-1 against Preston, who took the lead with their only shot on target. = +2.1
So a small, but still welcome +1.23pts profit on the night.
We will be back tomorrow with more horses. Hope you enjoyed today, and managed to make some money. It is only very small steps, so let us not get carried away, because who knows what is round the corner tomorrow. Thanks all
