Hello again.

Well its been a quiet week with not much doing for me on the Horseracing front.  I won on LORD OF THE SHADOWS on Monday but lost on SCRIPTWRITER (Fell) and MASTERFUL ACT (3rd) in my 50/50 bet. And on Wednesday I won on POQUELIN at Cheltenham.

What's happened is the start of the Flat racing season, and that means it's going to be a bit quiet for me for a little while until I have some solid form to go on. One of my system parameters is that I don't back any horses which haven't had the benefit of a recent run. This little rule ensures that my horses have some experience under their belt and that they are fully fit since they have had a recent 'tune up' run. It also protects me from 'false favourites' who are not really fully fit as they haven't had a run for 108 days for example. So I have to be a bit patient at this time of year.

But just like Buses three have come along at once today! I have backed YES TOM in the 2.50 at AYR for a PLACE bet. His Ayr form reads 2221 and he has the assistance of the champ AP McCoy in the saddle today. I have also backed COLLECT ART in the 5.30 at BRIGHTON to win at 2.49 and RONINSKI to win in the 3.35 at WOLVERHAMPTON at 1.44. I staked 2.5% on each of the Win bets and the Place bet is for a 1% Win target.

Well I'm off to the bookies to get my cash bets on! See you soon.
