The "daily" horses returned only 16.1 points from 20 staked (as there was just one winner and a place). However Europe's triumph in the Shergar Cup at Ascot (4/1 advised) and Mosse winning the top jock (16/1 advised) resulted in 22.5 points profit from the event (having deducted the 1.5 point late hedge).
Then there was tennis in Canada and the Sorana Cirstea each-way bet @ 66/1, struck earlier in the week. She has just knocked out Li Na in straight sets to reach the final and return around 17 points for the 22/1 place part of the bet (1/3 odds). That nets around 14 points for the tournament when deducting the Cibulkova losing bet and gives us a free (but highly unlikely) hit in the final tomorrow.
Those of you tuning in today for the Shergar Cup may possibly have picked up on Cirstea for the first time who was a top price 3.9 for today's match with Sportingnobet.com. The latter just seem to slavishly follow betfair even if there is very little liquidity so you may have been able to have a decently priced match bet.
In any event we are in excess of 30 points profit on the day and therefore about 25 on the week. Tomorrow we could add a further 50 points if Cirstea wins the Rogers' Cup final. Highly unlikely but should be an interesting watch. Let's hope A-Rad can beat SW tonight!!
I am taking part in Magnalonga tomorrow. This is an eight-mile plus walk in the countryside and includes five or six stops for local food and drink of the highest quality. Before I embark on this I hope to have had a look at the humble offerings of Leicester racecourse...........
