A quiet day today with two winners and two losers but my glass is definately half full not half empty! so a decent end to another week.

Bench Warrant was my first bet of the day and tried to lead but was harrassed by other runners, made a few jumping errors and finished well beaten after weakening quickly.

Ratify was an e/w bet and again tried to make all, leading from the start and getting a huge lead, with the desperate conditions there was always the chance of him tying up but he galloped on relentlessly and soon had his rivals in trouble and won by a very long way, just what the doctor ordered.  As Der Fer had recently won well under similar conditions and was shouldering a massive twelve pounds penalty, he travelled very well and looked like the winner a long way out, he had one challenger but he was soon put in his place and two winners in ten minutes it was.

My final bet certainly turned out to be a Yes Man, giving in to the opposition, he was weaker than a pint of beer in London and never showed any willingness to get in the race, a very poor run.

All in all a decent day and three score goes into the pot to fight another day.
