The week's horses / US Open

Rather an anticlimax at Wolverhampton last night with Lord Buffhead a fast finishing second and the ew selection Rutterkin finishing fourth at 18/1. This knocked five points from the Saturday profits which are reduced to 26.23 points. The best racing results of the week nonetheless on what proved to be a difficult day's punting for many. The changes in ground conditions made winner finding hazardous. For example, "the world's greatest tipster" Pricewise provided followers with a blank day tipping seven losers - not even one selection making the frame. Raceclear the popular Internet tipster, who gave turf racing a swerve yesterday, could only put up three losers at the AW gaff, Kempton. The latter venue provided the best winner for the blog and showed once again the value of BOG. Happy to take 11/2 Footstepsintherain I was delighted but somewhat surprised by the SP of 10/1 for this comfortable winner!

So therefore pleased to come out of the week at the tracks with a marginal loss of - 2.43 points (having checked the figures we were 28.66 down coming into Saturday and not 23.66 as previously indicated).

In the US Open we have also finished in front. The grand total invested on the event was 43.5 points. The winning bets were 6pts ew Vika @ 11/2 (1/2 1,2) which returned 22.5 points for her place in the final and 34 points returned for the two bets on (not-so-fat) Stan beating Mugray. A total profit of +13 points.

You will notice the above US Open returns ignore the possibility of Vika beating Serena tonight. Unless Vika has learnt how to serve in the last 48 hours I can't see this happening. However I'll be happy to revisit the profit figures and add 39 points if a miracle should occur!

No bets today and no horse racing bets on Monday's cards. Beverley and Leicester will be the focus on Tuesday. Accumulative positions now online on the website.
