Monday

Nice to have an extra day off work this week and was just a quiet one with music on and working through the form for the days races, not really sure why I bothered should have known better for bank holiday racing!

Todays racing:

Billy beetroot wasnt given the best of rides not sure he would have got there but maybe needs putting away for a while looks tired! Cheap streat was travelling well until weakening rapidly not sure where you would go with this out of sort type!
Lucy brown drifted badly in market and fate was sealed before start never really got on terms and never got into it should be capable of more!
Firebet got the run of the race he needed and won quite comfortably in the end to show our own profitable return. Epsom salts made his move far too late and was coming very quickly back at the leader which the field let slip and looks capable off a mark similar to this. Bold cross never got into really maybe needs a little more pace and bigger field may help. Fortunate bid made a bold account from front but showed little in finish and faded rapidly. Shesinthemoney was out the back the whole way and gaps never appeared and was given an awful ride to get on the outside when full of running, sure to go well again!
Sea salt travelled well but just never quickened and may need a shorter trip, flipando was awful i felt never got a decent gap maybe a break now and back on to AW maybe would suit better! Itsalreadythursday looked to be travelling well again and was given a bit of a wet ride by Detori in my opinion never really asked him a question, and new christmas did his usual trick of pissing about in the stalls to end an awful day!

Sunday

Well woke up feeling a lot more refreshed after friday night lol, fairly quiet relaxing day spent catching up on replays and form researching whilst watching paris hilton simple life in back ground lol! Sad i know but it is so funny lol!

Anyway bets went much better today!
Duchess dora won comfortably even though she was a significant drifter in the market, would be slightly wary next time out if handicapper goes to harsh, Sky high kid was extremely disappointing never on terms and finished practically last lot to prove next time out. Regal lyric was massively disappointing out the rear as last time but made no impression and tailed off disappointingly, valid point went on to win comfortably and another I usually back who has been out of form Screaming brave bounced back to be second, watch out for valid point, goes for hatrick under penalty on thursday typical prescott job! As for rose of coma ran a good enough race but may be worth a try at a shorter trip again! Ocean countess was just a messy race not sure he would have got there had he got a better start or better run. Choisharp was backed heavily and went on to prove why and looks capable of more with a few more pounds yet in the right race.
Rafta refused to race yet AGAIN, Just sat in the stalls like a plum cant believe they havnt worked on it and would be one to steer clear of I think maybe put away for a while would do her some good. Kaolak finished our day of nicely winning at a drifting price of 8/1 running exactly as expected making a bold bid from the front!

Hope for same luck tomorrow but dont hold a lot of hope with it being Bank holiday monday racing!!

Friday/Saturday

Woah what a couple of mad days, spent day at work on friday on me arse cultivating 35 acres on some rough land so was glad when it was all done dont do ya back or neck any good lol! Anyhow now got 3 days off so cant complain!
Went out Friday night for first time into city and ended up in some foam party and apart from that remember very little but hey was quality night, woke up round me mates house about 8.30 watched the morning line before he changed it saying it was crap lol, then went home for shower and felt shattered so went back to bed and got up about 12.30 to look at the racing for saturday!
Then last night went to the dog races at Yarmouth although failed to pick a winner was a quality night for other reasons lol!

As far as the 2 days betting go Friday was a little disappointing although 2 more successful lays were landed, saturday was much better especially with delegator showing he really is class and a good purchase for Godolphin!
As far as todays racing goes its a cracking day for a Sunday so good luck guys and enjoy it!

Thursday

Another normal day at work finally finished straw carting and succesfully took plenty of chunks out of my hands changing point on a cultivator then managed to get 3 blocks of concrete in bloody thing and kept getting bunged up! Anyway the day was soon over home to look at the days racing and getting my head into tomorrows!

Review from todays bets:
Prince ryddarch is extremely disappointing back on an attrictive mark but it looks as though handicapper has nipped him in the bud, usually likes the softer ground but looked to suffer today!
Casino night struggled to get on terms when held off a little too much maybe a better ride next time out would see him go better. Nimmys special defenetily showed a likeable attitude again today and could be one to watch out for again, lack of finishing gear though needs to be noted! 3rd @ 20/1 though!
Stellite was a non runner as expected, Inquisitress was a big price so knew the fate was sealed, last time out looks to be a one off on todays race needs to find something a lot easier.
Whiskey junction tried to make all, and is very difficult on AW at lingfield so think you can discount that race and should do better at some point. Figaro flyer proved that he really is a course specialist and could do better under a stronger ride in the finish would be happy to back on southwell again, Miss glitters looks well handicapped now even back on southwell surface needs a hand from handicapper.

Today showed a disappointing -3.5pt loss!

Wednesday

Quiet day at work just the usual pissing about with the turkeys moving them yet again and then on to yet more straw carting, one more day of that left thank goodness!
As for my bets:
Northside prince showed plenty of promise again in a slog of a race conditions were awful today at Ayr and maybe slightly faster ground would see him go in front again but did come 2nd for us at 6/1. Downhillskier was never on terms in the race and really seemed to struggle may need a hand from handicapper, could be more interesting on the AW again. Tom tower drifted massively from the night market and did make the running until getting tired in final furlong but came 3rd at 12/1 for us. Similar could be said about shaloo diamond who was second for us at 7/1 and step down in trip did see her put a much improved effort but again on that effort you would think a step up in trip would suit again she is a complicated sort and not sure which way I would go for the win again, maybe at this trip again but may need a hand from handicap of a 1lb or 2!
Cheyenne red was well backed fav today and was disappointing when staying very one paced at the finish!
Spiders star had to contend with slightly worse conditions than expected but coped well winning nicely yet again although not a lot left up sleeve maybe??
Select committee was a just weak in the finish and looks one to steer clear of at the moment and bold cross was never really in the race when it boiled up and flattened far to easily
Biggest win came from Bonnie prince blue who proved she was extremely well handicapped today and amazingly drifted out to 8/1 to win for us!

So all in all a reasonable day with a nice profit, especially in conditions that wouldnt normally suit my style of betting, quite often find in these conditions you can chuck the form book out, bit better tomorrow with racing on AW at Lingfield & Southwell!
