a marvellous day all round ................

yes the p/l obviously a profit of over £2000 on the day making over £5000 this week is personally much needed but the victory of john bests kingsgate native in the nunthorpe really pleased me although i had no financial interest in the race , i have had shares in 4 horses with john since the late 1990,s with varying degrees of success i might add , i sold my last interest in a horse with him last year but that was not down to him , i didnt agree with some of the racing decisions with the horse and offered my share for sale which was quickly bought , but i have always found john most approachable , genuine and hardworking and he deserves all the success that comes his way , well done jb !!!!

PERSONAL TRADING

2 bets , 2 winners the first was in the lingfield 2.35 this morning looking over the cards i noticed perfect paula in the first , well she ran well last time out @ newbury on saturday beaten 2 necks by cake into 3rd , cake who ran so well yesterday at york so the form was rock solid and perfect paula is in tip top form aslong as she has come out of the race well , i was confident she would get home even with top weight and that she would blitz them for speed she is much better class than the rest and lead all the way , but i was expecting evens or therebouts (that would have been a no bet ) and she was until just before the first show she drifted to quite a degree and i had £75 on at 3.00 on the exchanges , a unbelievable move but then the support emerged and she was returned a even money favourite , leading all the way ................. just !
my second bet was in the 2.50 stratford i was looking to back joe lively ew @ 3/1 , a cracking ew race with many runners not in with a squeak , i was keen to take on the fav double deputy my thinking being that he may be in decline and finds little under pressure , blue square were 11/4 so i bagged £50 ew at the price and was going to have more if the selection touched 3/1 , as isiris members know this did not happen ! and joe lively romped away to an easy success and for me a profit of £308.25 on the day .
