Had a football bet which will be settled on tomorrows blog as still playing now, a mixed day on the horses for me today.

Great start with Raya Star staying on best of all to win the first race and give me a nice profit to start my day out at Doncaster with, a bet at Fairyhouse on Chaperoned would have added to the coffers but came off second best, a token bet on Benartic was soon down the pan as well.

Moose Moran jumped much better than his first run over hurdles and soon had the race in the bag despite having more sweat than a Turkish Wrestlers Jockstrap on him before the race!

Dark Ben jumped to the right and was soon beaten once the home straight backoned, in the 4.10 bookies benefit i had two horses running for me and guess what? sixteen runners became fifteen so fourth place went begging, Wild Desert was up with the pace and was sadly found wanting and was pulled up, Quickbeam was just as poor finishing tailed off after also being prominent in the early stages.

A small profit today and a few quid more if Stranraer can win, five bets at Donny was it, as the Hunter Chase and Bumper where not worth staying for.
