Monday racing summary

A two point loss today, as my win selections both lost.

My lay selection was Eden Linty in the mares only maiden hurdle at Taunton. In her last outing it is arguable she may have given Gaspara a run for her money before falling, and she [Gaspara] goes to Cheltenham this week with high hopes. But she was still very much unproven over hurdles, with her only win to date a class 6 NH flat race. I was prepared to lay bets against her if I could get as low as 8/13 odds-on but the price never quite sank as low as this. She did win the race, and the Gaspara form indicator was franked - but she only won by a length, and not in the style of a 4/6 odds-on 'hot pot'.
