Normal service resumed today with the only return a third placed place money and another three losers on the account.

Lucky Sunny was quite well fancied but for a reason unknown the rider decided to have him at the back of the field about a dozen lengths behind the winner, then made up the ground coming into the home straight and had nothing left between the last two hurdles and finished well beaten.

Mighty Mangus was well backed and i had hoped for a better showing but the place curse struck again as he laboured to third place after lacking the heart for a battle in the desperate ground

Barnum was a first time out runner and was again supported in the market but was ridden along almost immediately after leaving the stalls, and finished last but one in a race of dire quality, very disappointing for a horse from these connections!

My final bet was an e/w on Downe Payment who was prominent for most of the race until the final two flights then got passed by two runners and plodded on to finish third and at least give me some return.

Four bets, three in the frame and still a losing day, it was really terrible going and these days are bad to try and find winners but we carry on regardless.
