Review of the day

A bit of a mixed day results-wise – but a profitable day for the P&L, which is always nice…

That was courtesy of Firebird Flyer, who made a nonsense of my fear of the Williams’ by battling bravely for victory at Ludlow…
More than that, he was followed home by the two horses I nominated as dangers: Forgotten Gold and Roalco De Farge, with the other 5 runners 27 lengths and further behind…
The tricast paid £1 shy of £100.
I think it’s fair to say I nailed that race J

On the other side of the coin, the days second tip, Tornado in Milan, was pulled up at Taunton…
That might lead you to believe that I was a million miles away with my analysis of that race – but you would be wrong…
On form (over the same trip, at the same track and on the same ground), there was very little between Tornado in Milan and the eventual winner of todays race, Sound Judgement.
Wherever one finished, it was reasonable to expect the other to not be far away…

Ofcourse, that’s not how it worked out – but then, horses aren’t machines…

The logic for the tip was good. 9/2 was a very decent price – the fact it ran like a hairy goat, is irrelevant (well, kind of  !).

Away from the tips, it wasn’t a great day for the mentions…

Comical Red ran a brave race but was no match for Veauce De Sivola.

Recession Proof ran like a horse who has still got an issue (though it is also possible that the trip/ground did for him).

The Pier ran an odd race in that he briefly looked like he might win – but ultimately found very little. I would have to continue to take a watching brief with him.

Whilst Pencilhimin ran as if the handicap mark was the main priority…

And Luddsdenene – well, he ran like he normally does…
Travelling through the race like Champion the Wonder horse, only to find absolutely noting when the pressure was applied…
Don’t you just love him ?!?

TVB.
