Running profit for May 22 pts - profit for April was 22.5 pts

Apparently you have to get used to losing in this game as you back far more losers than winners. It still isn't easy to take though when they really should have won. I am surely not alone in thinking that Kathlatino was the best horse in the race yesterday. If you disagree just watch it again.


Last day of the month and I don't want profits to dip below 20 points so a couple of small bets:-

2.30 Brighton - Bennelong 0.5 pt win

This is very open. Filun runs well here and Aciano ran quite well in a fast time last time out. Bennelong is a course winner and ran in a good race on the all weather last time being given a bit too much to do. I was pleased to see he was 6/1 on here which is a bit too big and so worth a bet.

9.20 Newcastle - Mango Music 0.5 pt win

Wore cheekpieces for the first time on it's reappearance and travelled well for some time before getting tired on ground that was too soft. Cheekpieces off today and quicker ground. A competitive event but on last year's form should not be the outsider and is 16/1 so good value - just a shame only seven runners which prevents an ew selection.


Yesterday I mentioned a few horses that were of interest to me and I had a couple of comments and e mails regarding this. The reason they were mentioned is that every day I have to whittle the selections down and I included them just to make this blog a bit more interesting. I am not suggesting you back them and they are not included in the profit and loss figures. I will discontinue with this if it is irritating - please let me have your thoughts.

Discarded selections :-

4.55 Ayr - Miss Blink
6.45 Sandown - Storm Moon
8.55 Sandown - Diverting


Good luck for today - Epsom tomorrow and full steam ahead for a profitable June
