Just got back from York... done a few quid in to be honest. Selected 2 or 3 a race in the morning on the way and backed them all accordingly.
First race backed the winner and the second, but didnt do the forecast on the two and it paid £16. But still a nice profit.
Lost badly on Maqaasid and saved with Rimth so no good there.
Then Ransom Notes race. Obviously I had that down as one to back. I fancied Acrostic as was told Fallon fancied it a few runs back, and had a tip this morning for Pertinant. So I had a tenner on all three at 9/1. Didnt even think to play the forescasts or even the tricasts, what happens, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I won £70 on the race but it could have been anything had I had the balls to do the f/c and t/c.
Downhill from there really, hammered Snow Fairy and saved with Sariska. Hammered Zarebiya which got pulled up. And didnt do much on the races off course either. Didnt stay for the last race and it saved me a few quid as I was going to back Hoof It.
Overall, a losing day but I enjoyed it. Ladies day meant there was totty galore and the weather was good. Managed to come home a little less lighter in the pocket but just backed Ryan Babel for the first goal in the Liverpool game which has saved grace a little bit. So a cheerfull end to the evening.
Onto tomorrow, read the cards in th evening paper on the train home and instantly was attracted to Rainbow Peak after its win last time, but the projected 3/1 is actually a more realistic 13/8 looking at Sporting Life. Looked to try and find something realistic to double it and really struggling. The remainder of the card looks difficult so I'll just be hammering Rainbow Peak instead !
