A winning day which could have been better and could have been worse, after two losing days this was more than a welcome reprieve and puts me back in profit.

The first race i had an interest in was the best with two horses running for me, Banoge was travelling well when falling and Tartan Snow jumped well and won cosily at rewarding odds for a nice profit, as this was the bigger of the bets it was nice to start the day in a no lose situation.

I also had two running in the next race and this time Wyeth badly injured himself and was pulled up and If I Had Him led all the way only to be passed on the run to the line, surely it was asking to much for an Alex Ferguson horse to do me a favour? No damage done as most of my stake was returned through the place money.

Cloudy Spirit was well backed before the race and it was disheartening to see him beaten for third after being towards the front for most of the race, annoying the fact that there was only fifteen runners and that was my final bet on the turf.

Two bets where struck for the all weather and the first bet Seeking Rio was backed at 14/1 as a win only bet, with three non-runners and a ten percent rule four it was still nice to see him hammered in the betting and i decided to lay some back on the exchanges, after it lost and commission taken off a small profit was made, and Miss Turner got him stuck in a hole Errol Flynn would have had trouble with so he was never a factor in the race. Kuala Limper almost made hard work of winning, after cruising through to lead and looking good for an easy victory he idled somewhat and the bicycle clips where well and truly in place after the never ending final furlong after he held on for a narrow victory to ensure i was up on the day.
