Ozone Layer

Probably a good decision yesterday to keep stakes to a minimum as the winners took a deal of finding as they always do at these early bank holiday fixtures. A fine effort by Kinloch Castle to finish third and beat all the fancied horses in the race. The sp was 9/1 so it means we lost half a point on the day but the price was much bigger at the time of posting (as usual !). Kickingthelily also ran well as suspected.

April running total plus 4.5 pts.

Musselburgh 2.20 Captain Dimitrios 1pt win

A little surprised to see this one turned out again after a good effort yesterday over seven furlongs. It was an amazing attempt as previous form gave no indication it could stay that distance.Incredibly all the opposition today are hold up horses and as he is drawn well there is every chance of an uncontested lead here. There are a few dangers of course but there should be the opportunity to trade out so the 9/2 currently available looks big with that in mind. For account purposes I will put up the bet as a one point win but personally will bet two points with lay of 2 points at 2/1 in running for a free bet (I hope !)

Let's hope he runs.

Nothing else on another difficult day but better tomorrow
