Lulled in by the big meeting, and yes, it's no different.
Had four each-ways:-
Parole D'Oro - Crouch 1 - Last out, never a prayer from the first couple of seconds - that's entertainment! Horse makes some laboured progress, looks as if he might finish fifth, but loses two places in the last few yards - the 'nearest finish' on the Racing Post is total rubbish. Haffner - clings on to second, and I get my money back, hurrah! Quirat - never looks like maintaining his Goodwood record, and contrives to even lose third place behind a couple of bigger prices - bookmakers laughing on the each-way market. Amiloc - Crouch 2 - very well supported, jock falls off after exiting the stalls claiming to be unbalanced - bet returned as a credit.
About as much fun as hitting your head against a brick wall, and in many ways quite similar. Can't wait to waste some more money tomorrow.
I wasn't going to continue this, but I thought it was worth another day just to emphasise how not exactly being too far away may as well be a million miles away.
One win bet, and four each-ways.
Hatteen - looked as if he would win comfortably, but the jock seemed to just sit, and allowed himself to be out muscled by Tommy Marquand.
Princesse D'Orange - very weak in the market and ran accordingly - Moore no difference whatsoever, soon gave up, and horse has probably 'gone'.
Planet Seeker - looked as if she might finish third, but Spencer soon downed tools
The Fingal Raven & Defence Minister - a little bit back having backed both at 28/1, but hugely frustrating as they were not not beaten far, but never had a prayer of winning. Spencer again.
So a small amount back to waste tomorrow.
