My horse racing selections during this period has landed a massive 56.9% yield from 158 bets (both win and place bets).
In quarter two there was a cross over between the end of the 2010/2011 Jump season and the start of the 2011 Flat season, and we made the best of both worlds.
Yet again we made the most of the big festivals. Aintree in April returned a yield of 22.1%, with big priced winners like Oscar Whisky (11/2) and Prince de Beauchene (12/1).
Turning to the flat, and Royal Ascot was a bumper festival for the blog, returning a massive 87.5% yield. Big winners this time were Sagramor (8/1) and Deacon Blues (9/1).
Though, it has be be said my favourite day of Q2 came on 21st May, with all 4 selections landed at odds of 4/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 9/1 (a 2400/1 accumulator for anyone who backed them in this way).
The further good news is, there's still plenty of selections to come in the second half of the flat season!
