a uninspiring couple of days at diggler towers ..........

a small profit on tuesday followed by a larger loss today , all of my own making so to speak with nothing from my services , although i did today call the isiris bet correctly , not the horse but the race ! i was not taken in by the time of the call , i positioned myself in the shop where i felt i could get on rather than a tote shop that had the best terms (1/4 odds) and as it happens best price , but i was accomodated to the full sum requested no questions asked so happy enough .

tuesday & wednesday

PERSONAL TRADING

i ended the day with a profit of £141.40 , mh gave a good word for watch my back at catterick and optimum gave a good word for polar gale at the same venue , i had a £50 double @ 7/4 & 6/4 with sid james , bingo on the first leg and drifting to a sp of 5/2 so happy days as they pay out guaranteed odds , unfortunately some sloppy jumping cost me on the second leg as came a close 2nd , but i layed polar gale i/r £200 @ 2.02 , hence my profit of £141.40 .
today was a case of me going for a small touch , i had the value but at the end of the day a £400 loss , i dont get much information and to be honest most of it in 2007 has been disappointing , today turned out to be no change on that front ............. but i got a strong message from a usually reliable source , only get messages from this chap 3-4 times a year but we talk on a regular basis , the horse was jardin de vienne in the newbury 12.30 i was told to take an early price as there would be money for this one , i invested £200 ew @ 5/1 , then mh gave a favourable mention to the horse so i was happy , money duly arrived i did think of laying half the bet off but resisted . the horse travelled ok but found very little when asked and could only stay on at the one rather slow pace to finish a well beaten 5th , a loss of £400 today , so over the 2 days a negative balance of £258.60 .
