Despite losing out on the big bet of the day (The Fugue), we still had a profitable day yesterday with Saddlers Rock running well into 3rd in the Gold Cup, and Takar winning in Ireland (albeit at reduced odds).  Piri Wango also showed the benefit of shopping around, with Bet365 and Stan James both paying 5 places (advised 20/1)
