Some Winning Bets

The main bet of the day the Lay on Thai Vango came home with the horse beaten into 2nd place at 2/1 Fav. With 7/4 available early I expect that it could have been laid at around 2.0 on Betfair, but whatever, it was a nice bet.

We also had a 3rd place selection in King's Revenge for a good E/W bet at 14/1 This was available at 20.0 in the win market just before the off and traded at under 3.0 as it challenged for the lead 2 out, before weakening. A nice run and if the handicapper isn 't too hard then it could pick up a small handicap soon.

We also highlighted Incorporation as a better proposition than Silver Steel and it duly obliged at 7/2 with Silver Steel finishing 2nd for those of you who are brave enough to do the F/Cs (not me). This was an interesting race as it highlighted the fact that current (normal) thinking is not always right, as Silver Steel had the beating of Incorporation on a direct form line.

The only downside of the day was Midnight Gold who fell foul of a Handicap newcomer and managed to finish 2nd at 11/4 (unfortunately there were only 5 runners).

Still 4 bets and 3 wins isn't bad going, and we now have something to live up to tomorrow. If you are also following my Soccer Blog then you've had 7 winning bets out of 8; which the bulls*** merchants would be shouting from the rooftops, but we know there are ups and downs in this game and it is the long term that counts.
