The final day of what has been a fantastic festival so far with three winning days, should i have a bad day today i will still be showing a healthy profit over the four days so that seems a good position to be in. I also have a great trade on China Rock to win the Gold Cup for me with no risk.
race 1
£12 e/w Third Intention - lost - £24
£2 e/w Smad Place - lost - £4 (race total - £28)
Poor start with both finishing out of the money, always going to be difficult today, hoping for better in the next.
race 2
£20 e/w Dirar - lost - £40
£5 e/w Alrazi - lost - £10
£1 e/w Salden Licht - placed + £5.25 (race total - £44.75)
Dirar was given an absolute shocker, out the back and switched many times when full of running, not impressed and not one of my favourite jockeys, Alarazi was found wanting two out and Salden Licht ran a cracker just getting a place under top weight.
race 3
£10 e/w Court In Motion - placed + £12.50 (race total + 12.50)
Cracking run but foiled by a big gamble on one of Hendo's and an AP ridden horse, still a small profit, China Rock will net me a profit due to an exchange trade if successful so i am not betting on it with the bookies although i hope it wins!
race 4
£4 e/w Tidal Bay - lost - £8 (race total - £8)
The double-barreller has done it, a good horse beating the old stagers, Tidal Bay stayed on as expected but was far too far behind, lets try and nail a few winners in the later races.
race 5
£20 e/w £10 win On The Fringe - lost - £50 (race total - £50)
Fourth but no payout, disappointing as he was hampered and almost brought down in a race won by a total outsider, e/w double also up the swanny! Two races to save the day.
race 6
£8 e/w Rose Of The Moon - lost - £16
£7 e/w Hollins - lost - £14 (race total - £30)
My luck is certainly out today, after having a fourth place when only three places where paid i find myself having a sixth place when five places where paid, i think Hollins came from miles away for sixth and the other a couple of places behind and my Fakenham bet got touched off last stride as well. Onto the 'Pull Me Out Stakes' where i have a tasty bet at good odds that will wipe out the deficit of today, here's hoping.
race 7
£50 e/w I'msingingtheblues - lost - £100 (race total - £100)
Dire run never anywhere near the front, that ends the festival and ends a bad day, i have two more bets tonight for a bit of damage limitation! i will update totals after the two a/w runners, still i have won considerably over the festival which i would have settled for on Tuesday morning.
On The Fringe
I'msingingtheblues £12.50 e/w double - lost - £25
Fakenham 4.15 Captail Knock £20 e/w £10 win - placed - £2
Beaten last stride in a Silver Spoon race.
Wolves 5.50 Coolaged Wonder £20 e/w lost - £40
Blocked everywhere!
Wolves 7.50 Beetuna £10 - lost - £10
Total pig of a horse.
Other bets - £52
Cheltenham - £273
Total Cheltenham only bets + £556
Today - £325 total + £788 bank + £1788
Disappointing final day but what a fantastic four days, overall over half a grand profit just at Cheltenham and profit on other racing made over the four days. I also had one beaten a short head today at Fakenham and two at Cheltenham who finished one place off a return, not to mention the three seconds yesterday. Overall i am more than happy with my bets this week and normal service is resumed tomorrow, i will be more selective and stakes will be smaller, i will probably do a race to race blog at the National three days next month
