SHAPESHIFTER

The first day of selections for February offered a small return of 10% after investing in 7 races.

On Thursday, I had enough confidence in William Twiston-Davies to score on Valdaw.  Yesterday, two of his three rides were caught by my 'radar'.  Both at decent prices, I tried to narrow it down to one but, in the end, both were solid contenders.

He ran Azrael from the front only to be caught over taken before the line losing by a length.  With Wordiness, his abilities in the home straights to find the lane and power was the decisive factor in the race and the horse won well.

Overall, some decent money made the past week off of an up and coming jockey.

The day was tough viewing with three highly competitive horses suffering fatal injuries.  "Part of racing" is what the final line on the day always is but that doesn't make it any less tragic for both connections and fans of the sport.



UPDATE I have put up Southwell and passing on Market Rasen today
