Nothing yesterday with only rubbish racing. A little better today though, so fingers crossed.
Not the greatest start to the week and as often happens with night racing the inevitable N/R reduced the filed to only 7 runners - though it did include the winner on this occasion!
Ayr 3.20 Imperial Legend 1 pt win UNPL / Gowanharry 1 pt win UNPL Ayr 3.50 Surround Sound 1 pt win UNPL / Toboggan Star 1 pt win UNPL Wing 7.55 Mission Approved 1 pt win UNPL / Polybius 1 pt win W 3/1 (7 runners only)
So a 2 pts loss on the day drops the bank to 125.40 pts

Midweek madness after yesterday's lack of contenders...
Method in the madness though as it turned out to be a very fruitful day with only one withered vine
Ling 3.30 Exceedexpectations 2 pts win W 6/1 Ling 4.00 Panther Patrol 1 pt win W 5/4 / Dominium 1 pt win 2nd 7/2 Catt 4.20 Red Baron 1 pt win UNPL / Mutafaakir 1 pt win 3rd 11/2 Catt 4.50 Hazard Warning 1 pt win UNPL / Goadby 1 pt win W 6/1 Sand 8.50 Perfect Muse 1 pt win W 7/4 / Tom Sawyer 1 pt win UNPL
So a whopping 17 pts profit on the day lifts the bank to 142.40 pts

Fewer than I expected today, but after yesterday's glut of winners perhaps we might not fare as well!

Sorry, way behind time today - last day of work before the end of fasting and the week-long holiday!
Firstly, yesterday's results, which were much in line with expectations.
Bath 3.25 Birdie Queen 2 pts win UNPL Bath 5.10 Haadeth 1 pt win 2nd 11/2 / Spray Tan 1 pt win UNPL Donc 7.20 Khatiba 2 pts win 3rd 3/1 Ling 8.10 Multitask 1 pt win UNPL / Thataboy 1 pt win UNPL
The loss of 8 pts dropped the bank back to 134.40 pts, which is where we start today
Thir 3.40 Street Boss 1 pt win / Marlismamma 1 pt win Thir 4.50 Verus Delicia 1 pt win / Dartrix 1 pt win Asc 5.00 Gabbiano 1 pt win / Iffranesia 1 pt win York 8.30 Lexington Abbey 1 pt win / Dutch Breeze 1 pt win
So we'll see where that leaves us!
Not too shabby by the looks of it
Thir 3.40 Street Boss 1 pt win W 7/2 / Marlismamma 1 pt win 2nd 7/1 Thir 4.50 Verus Delicia 1 pt win 2nd 5/2 / Dartrix 1 pt win UNPL Asc 5.00 Gabbiano 1 pt win UNPL / Iffranesia 1 pt win W 13/2 York 8.30 Lexington Abbey 1 pt win UNPL / Dutch Breeze 1 pt win 3rd 10/3

I did promise that I would do a review of how this has been turning out. So up to yesterday, in just over a month (started 20th June) the results are as follows:
111 races have produced 41 winners (36.9%) for a profit of 39.4 pts or an acceptable 18% ROI (never had one that performed this well before)
Today's selections are as follows:
Asc 3.40 Dutch Interior 1 pt win / Polybius 1 pt win
Pont 4.40 Dark Castle 1 pt win / Boy In The Bar 1 pt win
Pont 5.40 Majestic Manannan 2 pts win
Bank opens at 139.40 pts

Well done Kimmy. See how these fit today
Quiet day today as large fields at Goodwood remove that meeting from contention.
Sweet it was though!

Thanks Kimmy, here's today's load
A massive day today, which could result in a major gain or loss
Decent return sees us move forward once more, recouping all yesterday's losses and then some.
Thir 4.15 Repetition 2 pts win UNPL Donc 5.40 Classic Pursuit 2 pts win 3rd 4/1 Nwmk 5.45 Joe Packet 2 pts win UNPL Ling 6.30 White Russian 1 pt win W 3/1 / Shifting Star 1 pt win UNPL Ling 7.00 Maria Montez 2 pts win W 6/1 Ham 7.15 Medici Time 2 pts win UNPL Ham 7.45 Jamesbo's Girl 1 pt win W 2/1 / Gran Canaria Queen 1 pt win 3rd 7/2
So 7 pts gain on the day sees the bank close at 148.15 pts

After yesterday's glut, almost a famine today
A famine on the winning side!
Newb 4.25 Rebecca Romero 2 pts win UNPL
Bank opens at 148.15 and closes at 146.15 pts

Post by Old Timer on Aug 4, 2014 12:34:15 GMT
Another glut day by the luck, so fingers crossed it's not a mournful Monday!
Nope, it turned out to be a magic Monday as new heights were scaled
Rip 2.30 Lady Mai 2 pts win 3rd 11/2 Rip 3.30 Out Do 2 pts win 3rd 5/2 Kemp 5.15 Johara 1 pt win W 7/4 / Lady Horatio 1 pt win 3rd 4/1 Kemp 5.50 Tanche 2 pts win W 4/1 Wind 6.30 Come On Dave 1 pt win W 10/3 / Dark Lane 1 pt win UNPL (7 Ran!) Wind 7.30 Role Player 2 pt win UNPL

Post by Old Timer on Aug 5, 2014 12:32:16 GMT
After the feast comes the famine with just two races today, though I hope we get a winner.
Well the wish was granted
Catt 4.15 Solar Spirit 1 pt win W 7/2 / Cadeaux Pearl 1 pt win UNPL Rip 7.45 Normal Equilibrium 2 pts win 3rd 7/2
Just a small profit on the day raises the bank to 151.73

Post by Old Timer on Aug 6, 2014 12:48:51 GMT
Rather surprisingly, only two races again today, though may be going to the well once too often with the first one.
Well I guess a correction was due, although got caught by the N/R syndrome again!
Pont 4.10 Mister Manannan 2 pts win UNPL Pont 5.10 Centre Haffhd 2 pts win UNPL (only 7 ran)
So the bank is now down to 147.73 pts

Post by Old Timer on Aug 7, 2014 13:02:37 GMT
With all the meetings everything's all at one meeting for me
Well things got better as the day wore on, though not good enough to turn a profit!
Hayd 3.40 Suitsus 2 pts win UNPL Hayd 4.10 Duke Cosimo 2 pts win 2nd 10/3 Hayd 4.40 Borough Boy 1 pt win W 4/1 / Koharu 1 pt win UNPL
So bank closes down at 146.73 pts

Post by Old Timer on Aug 8, 2014 13:20:42 GMT
Let's see if we can get this show back on the road with a selection shared with the other system.
Well thanks to the evening show where N/Rs suggest the going changed at Newmarket,we bounced back very nicely.
Muss 3.30 Red Pike 1 pt win UNPL / Powerful Presence 1 pt win UNPL Bri 4.30 Langley Vale 2 pts win UNPL Nwmk 8.20 Forest Edge 2 pts win W 5/1
So with this week's losses being recouped the bank is now back to 152.73 pts

Lots of racing, but just the two selections, and I'm not too keen on the chances of one of them!
Close but no cigar!
Nwmk 3.05 Almargo 2 pts win N/R as expected Ayr 7.40 Jinky 2 pts win 3rd 7/1
Bank closes at 150.73 pts

Leic 3.30 Basil Berry 2 pts win W 6/1 Leic 5.00 Mister Manannan 2 pts win N/R
Bank closes at 162.73 pts

Too much traffic, so missed the first race today (if there was any qualifier)
