Didn't we have a lovely time at Bangor?

100% success again today, and three profitable bets. I had two Win Bets, Special Envoy at Newbury, and Nice Try at Bangor. Early prices around 5/2 were available about Special Envoy on Betfair, and Nice try was returned a juicy 5/1

I proposed three horses to oppose this morning. Nawaadi was well beaten at Newbury but his price never fell low enough to risk placing a bet. Big Timer was a successful bet at Lingfield. You could have gotten matched on Betfair at 100/30 before his price drifted out to a SP of 6/1 - who says you cannot lay below SP on the exchanges?

I wanted to lay Blue Bajan in the Winter Derby. He has come mightily close to winning at this level on two occasions, but without getting his nose in front. But his two previous starts at Lingfield have been run at a strong pace, which suits him. I was sure today's race would be falsely run, as there were no natural front-runners. Coupled with the fact that very few horses win from the front at Lingfield, no-one was likely to want this role. I was right, and they started at little more than a dawdle. I knew before they even entered the finishing straight that Blue Bajan would not be winning. He struggled in the sprint to the line and finished uplaced. His SP was 4/1 which was my limit for laying him, but personally I didn't quite get matched, and it will not appear on my results as a bet.

Overall a good day, with more than 8 points profit to show for my efforts.
