Back from Spain, slightly tanned but the relaxing week didn't really happen for me as Cheltenham became a war of attrition with the bookies.
A big priced each way shot in injury time on Friday meant we got out alive!
Here's the tale of Friday...
1.30 ... Master of Arts $50 win @ 8 - €50
2.05 ... Aachen $50 Win @ 5 - €50
2.40 ... On Raglan Rd $25 place @ 3 + €100
3.20 ... Exotic Dancer $50 win @ 12 - €50
4.00 ... Baby Run $50 place @ 10 + €550
4.40 ... Big Eared Fran $25 win @ 6 - €25
5.15 ... French Opera $25 win @ 5 - €25
End of Cheltenham balance €720, profit of €220 from the €500 I set aside to play with.
On Friday I feel I missed a sitter by not backing Denman & Exotic Dancer for places but the Gold Cup is an emotional race. From a pure racing fans point of view I was willing Denman on and after just one prep race where it was all wrong for him to get 2nd was a monumental run. I'd love a 3rd rematch next year.
It was the bookies week with only one of the bankable favourites coming home, we have many close shaves but came out on the right side thanks to a 40/1 shot who went off at 16/1 in the end so most of the big hitters must have spotted on Friday morning what I'd spotted on Thursday night.
First big flat race of the year today so onwards and upwards
Total Balance €1,360
