A good day with just two horse races played and a juicy 8/1 winner in the first of these. Although this was a late posting I did say in the 12:42 post that I would be posting between 16:30 and 16:45 and the post for the 17:00 race was duly made at 16:43. Sometimes you have to have a good look at the way the track is running before stepping in.
Tomorrow I will be interested in the evening meetings at Kempton and Chepstow.
In the tennis Li Na couldn't win against an injured A-Rad. She had copious set points in the first set and failed to convert. She let A-Rad back in and that was that. You have to say Li Na was a little unlucky as she aced A-Rad on set point in the first set and although the ball was called out the (unchallenged) replay showed that the ball was in.
Flipper put in a great performance to beat (an unwell) Kvitova in three sets. Flipper made a total of just five unforced errors in the match and hopefully (although she will start second favourite against the unlikeable Bartoli) she will have a good chance of reaching the final. Looking at the match prices now Flipper is a best priced 11/8 to beat the Frenchwoman and was 2/1 to beat K-Vit. So the double match result was effectively just over 6/1 and we have just under 12/1 as the place part of our 35/1 bet on the Belgian.
Tomorrow it's the men's quarter finals and Murray plays a lefty for the first time this year. There is still a question mark about Murray's back. Verdasco has been inspired since picking up a new racquet a few matches back and although I am not getting heavily involved in the match I have had:
1pt win Verdasco to beat Murray @ 11.0 Betfair
So that is a 9.5-1 chance after betfair commission.
Horses tomorrow.
