Wise to bet against the Owl today at Fakenham

Two win bets proposed today, but both Coeur D'Alene and High life finished third in their respective races.

Better news with my lay bets as they both lost as I had hoped. I suspected the price on Wise Owl at Fakenham would be artificially shortened because of the Pipe/McCoy combination. I was prepared to lay bets because it was the horse's debut over obstacles and one can never be quite sure how a horse will perform first time out in public, no-matter how well the schooling over hurdles may be going at home.

So, by the end of the afternoon my account had shown no movement, as I won back with my lay bets what I gave away with my win bets.
