i dont know if anybody else makes notes on horses performances, but that is something i always like to do, especially if something catches my eye. well today although my lay of twice lucky was successful, it also left me with a slight feeling of disappointment. the eventual winner of the race, oh right, was a horse who went into my notebook when finishing 4th to prince blackthorn at sedgefield back in december. my feeling that day was that he ran a lot better than his finishing position suggested. he appeared to quicken up between the 4th last and 2 out until tiring slightly and being overhauled by  a few of his rivals that day. i got the distinct impression that this was a horse that was getting on the right side of the handicapper and could win again sooner rather than later if given similar conditions.

today i overlooked his chances based on his effort last time out, though i really should not have dismissed him so quickly as that came in class 4 handicap hurdle over 3m2f on ground that was too soft for him.

so in the end i managed to lay twice lucky to win £450 but i did have £100 on quinder spring who i must say i thought was once again disappointing as i thought conditions were just about perfect for him but he never got into the race.

well i am away for the weekend, taking a long awaited break for a couple of days. to anybody reading, see you in the lay comp monday. be lucky.
