Another winning day but that is only half the story, how it could have been a fantastic day!

First race i had an interest in was a split stake bet and my biggest stake done the business with the minimum of fuss, and i almost nailed the next winner, after being well behind turning for home he stayed on till the line and was a length down at the lollipop, the closest he had been all race.

Lady Willa won in a canter even though the market rival got injured and that was enough to secure a winning day and any other winners were a brucie bonus, Seren Rouge was well beaten and then the air was blue whilst watching Zafrandger run, the saddle slipped forward with about a mile to run and my wonga slipped with it, the worst feeling in the world is (apart from saying i do!) knowing that your horse's chance has gone because of the incompetance of stable staff..................infuriating.

Opera North was hopeless, then another winner when Mayolynn cantered away after the last for my third winner, Round Won led every yard except the last and went down by a nose with a couple of short heads in the photo as well for good measure.

Another winning day so no complaints although it is always annoying when going down by the minimum distance and more annoying when you don't even get a chance due to a badly fitted saddle!
