A very good day today to finish the week. Fancied it a bit with 14 points staked across the three races (as compared to, say, unsuccessful Friday with 12.5 points across seven races). Ironically Hughes' mount did not go reducing the day's total stakes to 11 points and the 17:30G to seven runners thus making the ew poke on "Alpha" less attractive. No need to worry though as the latter obliged @ 7/2! Although we took 12/1 the bet is of course subject to a hefty rule 4 deduction (30p) reducing the odds to 8.4/1 - however we do get 1/4 odds for the place odds because of the reduced field. Return on the 2pts ew bet is therefore 25 points - far better than at 7/2 SP!
At Beverley Captain Midnight won comfortably @ 7/1 (SP 4/1) for a 12 point return. So 37 points back for 11 staked and a profit of 26 on the day. Total profit on the week around 48 points. Will post the full details on my website later or tomorrow, meanwhile enjoying a glass of Ludlow Gold to celebrate!
US Open starts tomorrow at 16:00 our time and there are loads of race meetings to sort through - will have a look later.
