Three losing days in a row now so due a good day tomorrow! well that's what the law of averages says i think...

Sunday Sharpener ran a stinker and was pulled up when tailed off in the back straight to get the day off to a bad start, Iolith was weak in the betting so i feared the worst at post time and that was a good feeling as it never looked like winning and surprise surprise the one with the money on won well, Port Hill was a horse i had backed previously and was again weak in the market and ran accordingly.

The 4.45 race was one i had a two pronged attack in, Chilbury Hill was well supported  and did not jump too well and never got in the race, Bright Decision was prominent in the race and stayed on to finish a well beaten second and a return at least, even though a losing race.

Another two pronged attack in the 5.20, Gouranga was hopeless and was beaten with a full circuit to run, surely he tiptoed back to the stables so as not to wake the other horses! Inkberrow Rose got a place after the leader bit the turf when looking the winner, fortunate but i'm not complaining, a small profit on the race and better than spending the night with a blind puff and a tin of jumbo hotdogs!

Two places in the latter races when a winner would have seen a profit on the day so a day where i was close but no cigar, could be a day at Doncaster races tomorrow you never know.
