Friday racing summary

The results will show a quiet day for Friday: just one win bet which lost, leaving the account a single point down. However, what you will not see are the two winners which do not get recorded, because they did not reach my recommended value prices. Both Inch High at Ayr, and Dicky Lewis at Leicester, came home the winners of their respective races at 13/2 and 3/1

My only lay bet was Morgan Be in the handicap chase at Ayr. He was stepping up in class, and also up in distance in holding ground so I had concerns he would get the trip. In handicap company for the first time he was also giving weight to all but one of his competitors. I was looking to lay him if I could get 6/4 But it would appear the market had similar concerns to me. Few people were prepared to back him at less than 2/1 and he was eventually returned the 5/2 favourite. So this also was a 'no bet'. Just as well, as he proved the layers wrong and produced the strongest finish of the 3 runners to complete.
