Quiet day yesterday with only 1 meeting on from Southwell but we managed to have 2 small bets with no luck.
First up was
1.25 SOUTHWELL
EASTERN GIFT
1PT WIN @ 7/2 HILLS, BOG.
He had ran well at the track a couple of runs ago and I thought he may bounce back in a poor seller like this, he was always too far back from the off and just didn’t travel until he ran on strongly in the straight to finish 3rd. He ran OK without ever looking like winning.
Our next bet was
3.00 SOUTHWELL
SHAWKANTANGO
1PT WIN @ 4/1 BETFRED, BOG.
A course specialist who had won at the track 4 times over todays distance. He has a habit of missing the break and unfortunately for us he did so again today and 5f at Southwell missing the kick is pretty much end of the race. He was in an awful position from the off and was never going to get anywhere near them after that.
So disappointed but because of the quality of horses we were dealing with the stakes were kept deliberately low and only 2pts lost on the day.
