Wednesday racing summary

Two qualifying win bets today, and subsequently one winner and one loser. Importantly, I secured a small net profit for the day.

One lay bet suggested, and I have to put my hands up and say I didn't expect such continued improvement in this horse, who went on to win impressively, and cost me 7 points in the process. Flintoff was running in the class 3 handicap chase at Newbury. He was stepping up in class, carrying a 7lb penalty, and running farther than he had ever raced, in heavy ground to boot. Several very good reasons for doubting he could answer the question. But answer the question he did.
