-58 points deficit
Stella Point backed at 13/2 came in to 3/1 fav, being a lightly raced filly was unsuited by the slow pace. 4Th, am sure she will do better. Rumh got the run of the race out front, no excuses.2:30 York
25 points each way @ 6/1 (not bog bsq) Askar Tau

-62 points deficit
Askar Tau did not seem to like being bumped when challenging. Native Ruler could not get room when going well, then didn’t have a turn of foot after a gap opened. Would’ve gone close with a clear run. Winner Duncan seemed to get a soft lead.3:00 York

Flood Plain 7/2 in to 9/4 but ran abysmally. Though in truth had little chance with the winner Theyskens’ Theory, Meehan chose this day to come back to form.3:10 Newbury

Darajaat in to 13/2, Dinkum Diamond 2/1 in to Evens, only 3rd. Pabusar didn’t look fit in the paddock, weak behind and drifted on reappearance. Elzaam looked a picture and came back to his best two year old form; worthy of a bet @ 16/1 for the Jubilee.Days Stakes 302 points,

-41 points
Polly’s Mark in to a stupid 6/4, ran her race, seemingly not good enough. Ship’s Biscuit looked irresolute early, dropping herself off the back before consenting to run on late for 4th. Winner Drunken Sailor drifted to an unbelievable 4/1. Shame I wasn’t concentrating and failed to see it.3:10 Newbury

General Synod disappointed. Labarinto should have won or gone close to it. Champion jockey giving the winner too much rope. Both Labarinto and third home Fulgar (who came from even further back) are worth keeping an eye on in future handicaps.3:45 Newbury

Mutayaser went off at 11/1, looked the likely winner, but samwiched between two and with a whip in the face declined to go through a gap. The other two disappointed.3:10 Goodwood

(46)0 points profit
Yippee something back for once! Well, at least I didn’t lose any money on the race. Ending a long run of 8. Beatrice Aurore looks worthy of a place in the Oaks. Didn’t look to be going especially well in behind horses, but once pulled out and in the clear, produced a turn of foot. Poplin in from 11/2 to 5/2 ! Asked quite a question, held up in a slowly run race. Made up quite a bit of ground around the outside to be 4th, may do better still.4:20 Goodwood

Masked Marvel did the biz, booking a Derby entry although the form doesn’t look much. Two 2/1 joint favs ran poorly.

-68 points deficit
Adelina Patti halved in price, down to 4/1. Not given a hard race after caught behind a wall of horses. Strange Hughes was on the outsider of two Hannon horses (Gennie), may be did not want the risk of injury. Mixed Emotions was free to post, predictably free in the race too under his apprentice. Nothing left by halfway.7:40 Salisbury

Identified an odds-on fav worth taking on, who finishes out with the washing (pulled early). Then best of your each ways finishes 4th. The two horses going off at 7/1 and 8/1. Winner, Captain John Dixon sweated up and swished his tail in the paddock. But there was nowt wrong with his finishing effort; very genuine.8:45 Salisbury
25 points @ 15/2 (SJ) Tornado Force
-25 points
Fallon on Cunning Act, saw that Tornado Force did not get the soft lead I expected. Rushing around the outside quite early. What made it worse was: I backed Cunning Act on course and got beat when Bussa got up on the line. Worse than that; I’d seen 33/1 available for Bussa, which was (according to my 100% book) value. But wanted to see the going / times before backing him. Did not want it too firm and no time came within 2 seconds of Racing Post Standard, so all well and good. However, best I could see on track was 16/1. No Bet!!!!Days Stakes 141 points,

(bog 3/1 SP)
183 points profit
Beachfire looked outstanding in the paddock and was duly well backed and market rival Harlstone Times drifted as a result and topped up @ 3/1. Beachfire did his usual thing, unwilling early before a strong finish, but not good enough. Harlstone Times made his move earlier and had too much in hand for the front running runner-up Nave. John Dunlop’s horse may well be able to go in again.

Could easily have picked one of these each way. And /or backed the winner Sole Power too. Three obvious hold up horses filling the winners enclosure; in a race almost certain to be strongly run, with so many front runners. Both main selections ran as well as could be expected, not good enough. Kingsgate Native well backed in to 7/2SP.3:20 Goodwood

Wow! What a result, what a day! Did not get a good view of City Leader in the paddock as watching the Temple Stakes. So did not top up, still can’t complain, especially with bog. Got up in a finish of heads. Prince Siegfried did not get the soft lead expected with stable mate Al Zir dictating. Loads of money for Forte Dei Marmi, 9/2 to 5/2, will do better in more strongly run event. His good form last year being in competitive handicaps. Sea Of Heartbreak ran well enough though looked set to play a more starring role at one point.

Not good for the ticker. Went in to yesterday just hoping to get something back. Thought I was on the right track with so many of my bets shortening considerably; which maintained confidence. But to make a profit from the 5 days was a surprise.
