Immortal perhaps, but not invincible

My two losing win bets were countered by my lay bet today, and as a result the account showed no movement overall.

My Immortal was the morning favourite for the class 2 handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. But he has won only once from 9 starts over hurdles, and his win came in a lower class than today. He was also stepping up in distance today, and I did not feel he would get the trip. I was prepared to lay him for 2 points below 6/1

By the start his price had drifted markedly to share co-favouritism. He held a prominent position for the first half of the race, before back-pedalling to finish a distance behind the leading runners.
