Monday review/tennis

Hard luck stories yesterday I'm afraid.

Supa U going down by a nose in the first @ 11.4/1 was a nightmare start to the day. The 'experts' on Racing UK - James W etc - thought it was a dead-heat (examining the video still) but it was not to be. In the last race blogged, our 9/1 poke was left 4-5 lengths at the start only to rally and go down by a couple of lengths at the line. No winners but in the end just 0.52pts profit thanks to the two places.

The tennis was a nightmare too. Halep, a set and 4-2 down to Pennetta fought back, regaining the momentum, to serve for the second set at 5-4. Then, on set point to Halep, they came off as it started raining. Hours later, she was unable to convert, losing in straight sets. What's more I thought Vinci would be a warm favourite to beat her compatriot Pennetta. However that is not the case as the books are making the unseeded player favourite. I need to stick to the horses!
