Another great start to the day with a nice priced winner.
Shaking Hands certainly showed his metal after being headed coming around the last turn and looking beat then staying on well coming to the second last and winning easily, things where looking good after that winner as i was just about guaranteed not to do much damage to my bank.
Charming Lad although prominent till the race started properly three hurdles from home was never going to trouble the judge and my whisky vouchers where soon waving me goodbye, Plunkett always finds one too good and today was no exception as he was booked for second before the jockey fell out of the side door after the second last, if this donkey is ever in a walkover then it surely would fall in the paddock!
Laura Land ran a good race and looked promising till the home straight, although in an apprentice race the jockey could always pursue a career directing aircraft when his riding career is over, Crystalize travelled very well from a long way back, took the lead a furlong out and got swamped just holding on for third for a small profit and my final bet couldn't get a place to make today a profitable day.
So i guess today could be classed as a damage limitation day, tomorrow could be a good day as i have a tasty bet lined up which could earn me some serious bottles of Scotland's finest, weather permitting of course!
