They say when your luck's out, it out, and that was very much the case yesterday.  Both selections at Wetherby ran brilliantly, only to find one better.  Bears Affair and Bubbly Breeze finished 34 and 35 lengths ahead of the third placed horses respectively, so it's hugely frustrating to get beaten a neck on both occasions.
Add to that the brilliant run from For Non Stop (advised 16/1) at Sandown.  He pushed odds-on favourite Al Ferof right to the line, and like the other two got beaten by a neck.  Again our selection finished a distance in front of the next best horse.  The place money returned from For Non Stop were scant consolation for what was very close to being a good days profit.
Despite this disappointment, we take heart from the good selections.

Three selections today:

As has been the way of it recently yesterdays selections again returned little, but could have been so different.  Arctic Court made all the running at Newbury, but tired coming up the straight, and was beaten a length into fourth in the end up.  Glassan Lad, was also beaten into 4th, this time by a neck, and again we missed out on the place money.  Vosges ran a good race, only failing to catch the long time leader who just wouldn't give up.  Shukov got 2nd at Dundalk, to return our stake, but was close to beating the odds on winner.  Buccaneer Bob waas the most fraustrating runner of the day.  With an inexperienced claimer in the saddle, he was held up at the back and seemed to by burning off all his energy in restraint.  When asked for an effort, he had little left.

Just the two selections today:

Newcastle

12:00pm Aikman
1.5pt Win bet
Current Betfair price:  4.0

Newbury

3.10pm Tullamore Dew

Yesterday returned a profit again, with 3 from 6 selections doing the business.  Rose Of The Moon (advised 11/8) was backed all day into odds on, and won well.  Bishopsfurze was similar.  Hopefully some of you will have got more than the advised 14/1 about Tarn Hows (SP 25/1), who ran a cracking race finding only one better.

Despite a couple of less than fluent jumps in the home straight, Trustan Times won for us yesterday with what seemed like plenty in hand.  Hopefully he'll learn from his first outing over fences, and has enough scope to win a few more competitive races as the season goes on.

Nicky Henderson had a great day yesterday, landing 7 from 7.  We had a slice of it ourselves, landing his biggest priced runner, Whoops A Daisy @ 7/2. Muldoon's Picnic was going well at Ludlow when he made a couple of bad jumping mistakes, the last of which brought him down.  Fishoutofwater was a non-runner in the end up, so Whoops A Daisy ensured a profitable day.

Just the one selection today:
