Great end to the afternoon yesterday when Robert Winston turned up at Doncaster for one ride. He came with a storming run on Sleepy Blue Ocean to land my 16/1 poke (SP 11/1). After drawing a blank for a couple days this was a welcome return to the winners' enclosure. Plenty of fancy prices available throughout the day with 16s available with several firms and even 21.0 on betfair.
No crisps last night: carpaccio (local beef) with parmesan shavings, grilled scallops with cauliflower purée and (local) black pudding, Sauvignon Blanc. Live music followed at The Marches pub supplied by (friend) Benet Walsh and Sam Thomas. Wye Valley HPA and Salopian Oracle beers were consumed.
Well why not indulge when the winners are coming in? Next week it might be "bread and point". A war-time expression of my father: meaning just bread to eat whilst pointing to meat elsewhere.
There are drawbacks to such indulgence though as I have missed some prices this morning. Have had a look at Chester and placed the following bets just now:
19:20C 4pts win Riskit Fora Biskit @ 9/2 William Hill BOG
19:20C 2pts win Smart Daisy K @ 11/4 Betfred BOG
19:50C 2pts win Steventon Star @ 11/4 Coral BOG
Eight points staked.
I will be looking at Ascot and Chepstow over the next hour or so although there is a possibility of no further bets. Will post before 13:00 if there is any more action today. Meanwhile more tea required!
