Ozone Layer

Running profit for May at starting price plus 6.5 points - profit for April was 22.5 points.

Another dose of seconditus yesterday. Diamond Vine (6/1) was readily outpaced by the favourite but I managed to bag the exacta. Lady Phil (11/2) tried hard and may have come up against a decent rival but no excuses for Chookie Hamilton other than just a bad call. A loss of four points for the account so not too much damage done and confirmation that small stakes are the way forward until the ground improves.

I couldn't find much at Wolverhampton today but on the turf :-

4.00 Musselburgh Powerful Presence 1 pt win

The form of the Southwell race that it won last time is holding up well with Masai Moon winning next time and Memory Cloth doing us a favour on Saturday. This is tougher and unfortunately it is favourite today but as the race is competitive 9/2 is not too bad a price.

5.00 Musselburgh Cyflymder  1pt each way

I am surprised and pleased that this one turns out again after yesterday's run over furlong further. This looks easier and it was bang there at the distance yesterday. Horses turned out the following day often run well I find.


Nice to receive the comment yesterday - happy to see that you collected ! It would be nice to have more followers in view of the profits shown but the purpose of the blog is to prove to myself that profits can be made at starting price even with putting up bets every day. 

Good luck all
