the princely sum of £7.50p !!! just about able to buy myself a couple of pints and a packet of crisps with that . i was keen to get involved today as time is ticking by and im a fair sum adrift of my £30k target so although not a fan of sundays betting wise i thought as i free up until 2pm ish i would get stuck into a couple of betting opportunities .
unfortunately there was nothing from my 3 betting services , but mh had fairly strong opinions on a couple of races from hereford and the opener from market rasen .
sunday
PERSONAL TRADING .
a lucky escape today and if i was a layer i could have come a serious cropper , market rasen a course i have visited a few times but holds sad memories for me as i had a decent little horse a few years back called second helping owned in a syndicate with a few mates trained by john best , went on a winning spree over hurdles in the summer well placed by the trainer , then got handicapped to the hilt ,as he wasnt the biggest horse around carrying weight would prove a disadvantage but i thought his size would prove a hinderance to jumping a fence and i wanted to stay over hurdles carrying less weight in better class races , well we had a vote and my opinion was out voted , sadly my view was to prove sadly correct with dire consequences as he fell at market rasen breaking his neck in the process , i have never been back and that will forever remain the case . well mh was keen to oppose osaka d'airy in the first citing that the horse may have a physical problem but he was struggling to oppose him with anything solid , in days gone by i would have taken a few quid out of osaka d'airy but not these days and a let off for me , what i did notice though was that in my humble opinion the runner up did not get much assistance from the jockey the presentation at the hurdles was poor and if this was improved i feel the runner up would have obliged as there was no momentum from leaving the hurdle especially at the final couple of obstacles .
onto a couple of races at hereford , mh said the fav had a stone in hand on his rivals usually such comments hypnotise me into a bet but he put up a few reservations and im not a great fan of betting in sellers especially 13/8 shots and as he had failed to complete the course on his last two runs i held back , make that the last three runs now as he fell .
the 2.10 could have been a main account race , mh was negative on melvino again in days gone by this would have been a lay , the horse mh was interested in was the cayterers i had £75 ew @ 11/2 and £50 ew @ 5/1 an eventful race with the fav leaving the contest after being hampered at the first and unseating the jockey , melvino was a handful for his jockey but came home a 7l winner with the cayterers second , so i was relieved that my days of laying were behind me and off i went was to the spurs with a handy £7.50 in my pocket !!!!!
