    Eastlake can **** right off.

    +£2.93 from Savello place lay.
    +£7.92 from Un Beau Roman place
    -£10 from Cold March, who ran on late just like last year.
    -£4.50 for combination forecasts/tricasts
    -£4.80 for 6-folds
    -£2 for EW double Cold March-Aso
    -£3 for Un Beau Roman win back

    -£24.30, +£10.85, so…-£13.55 for the race.

    BUT, I now have EW doubles with Un Beau Roman running onto Frodon + Aso. I’d be very disappointed not to pick up some returns from those.

    £81.37.

    +£1.93 on Full Shift place lay
    +£1.93 on Aloomomo place lay
    -£2 on Turban
    -£3 Aso win stake.
    +£49.16 for the forecast
    +£12 for Frodon win
    +£10.25 for Frodon-UBR EW double
    +£5.56 for Aso-UBR EW double
    +£4 for Aso placed
    -£1 for King’s Odyssey

    So I believe I’m +£78.93 for the race, taking me to £159.23

    If I’d put UBR in my Lucky 15/4-fold, I’d be looking at Mister Grez in the 2.15 at Lingfield for the 4th placed horse :'(

    I’d also have my 6-folds alive had Eastlake ****** off, needing one of the three favs in the next and one of the two favs in the Bula. Gutting.

    I can’t believe I’m just missed laying that favourite. Got caught up in all the excitement of the Caspian. Wanted to lay Briar Hill too.

    Just found a 10p EW Lucky 15 +25p EW 4-fold I did with Ladbrokes.

    Whisper 6/1
    Cold March 10/1
    Aso 8/1
    Mister Grez 8/1

    £72.82

    So happy that Mister Grez was unplaced, I’d have gone mad for not doing at least a 4-fold with UBR. -£2 for my back of him, -50p for the 4-fold and 1 winner, 2 places on the L15 for -40p.

    Got nothing in the Cheltenham 2.25 apart from RFC for the front 2 in the market. Disgusted by their SPs, it’ll pay nothing unless West Approach wins :(

    Cheltenham 12.05, Defi Du Seuil/Domperignon whatever
    Cheltenham 12.40, Different Gravy/Whisper
    Cheltenham 1.15, Cold March/Un Beau Roman
    Cheltenham 1.50, Frodon/Aso
    Cheltenham 2.25, Wholestone/West Approach/No Hassel Hoff
    Cheltenham 3.00, MTOY/TNO

    5p 6-folds, which I believe makes £4.80

    This is ridiculous. Had Eastlake ****** off, I’d need MTOY for £775 or TNO for £1000 off this bet. Eastlake has cost me a ridiculous amount of money. 50p EW double Frodon + UBR (356/1, so nearly £180), UBR-Vaniteux forecast (£60-80), UBR win single (£70). So £1000-1300 Eastlake has cost me by not ******* off. And I’d still be in the Cheltenham placepot. Instead I’m up £70.

    And my lack of concentration resulted in me not laying Briar Hill or that 1/13f. What a **** day.

    I’d also have my 6-folds alive had Eastlake ****** off, needing one of the three favs in the next and one of the two favs in the Bula. Gutting.

    This should say £160.23, as I deducted my Aristo Du Plessis bet twice.

    +£2.60 for Lucky 15 returns, -£3 for 0 0 Seven. £159.83. Expecting to add over £10 with TNO placing and £2.41 with my lay of Mister Miyagi.

    But today is all about Eastlake. What a ******* of a horse.

    Really really need MTOY to run very well for non-thread reasons. I have a ridiculous amount of multiples on him for the Champion Hurdle at 50/1, including one with Wholestone for the Albert Bartlett

    I had to back TNO and MTOY at their prices. It was something like 70% for them. Nonsense, should’ve been 95% the 2.

    Plus the place bet, so that’s £9.66 profit from those bets and I can add that, plus my £5 stake on TNO to place. £14.66 to add to £159.83, so…£174.49.

    Morning Herald is a non-runner so £175.49

    Been doing this for 2 days and already made 75% of my bank and I’ve been very unlucky with Eastlake, costing me something like £1200. I’m just waiting to see how much the placepot at Cheltenham pays…I’m feeling very optimistic, albeit a bit pissed off, about these early results and I’m looking forward to the future challenges, bring them on! I put up 2 race previews and gave the 2-3-4-5 and the 1-2. Gonna go and study for tomorrow’s races now, where I have a LOT of notebook horses running. Should get a lot of little lays in tomorrow, and maybe a winner or two.

    Placepot prize fund: £142,583 Races: 12:05 12:40 1:15 1:50 2:25 & 3:00
    Status: Result. 1190.87 winning units get £119.70 each

    £119.70 a line in the placepot, so that’s 4 lines I’ve missed out on. Had I staked a 5p placepot on my 6 selections, the £4.80 layout would have returned about £25.

    Many, many crossbars hit today.

    Wolverhampton 5.15 Cajmere, 50p EW

    Wolverhampton 5.45 Equally Fast, 4* bet. £2EW at 20/1 and Illegally Blonde, 3* bet, £1.50EW at 28/1. 50p RFC.

    Just lost 50p laying Arsenal at 1.01 but…

    £7.70 profit, meaning the bets above only take £1.30 from my balance.

    £174.19
