Run, Rabbit, Run...

Yesterday I said I rarely play the 'unlucky' card, and today I can show you just why not. Because luck was on my side today, and it just goes to show that luck features highly in horse racing. Sometimes luck seems to be against you, and sometimes she is smiling on you. The lesson to learn is don't get frustrated when luck goes against you, because before very long you will be rewarded with a little luck of your own.

As long as you are confident in your abilities and your methods, then in the long run luck will not affect your results.

Rabbit Fighter was in the vanguard right from the start at Wolverhampton, and hit the front with a decisive move. However, it looked as though he would be reeled in by the race favourite. Emerald Wilderness edged right approaching the line, and as the jockey fumbled with his whip to correct his course, the horse hesitated and gave up the race to our horse. We were lucky. You could have backed Rabbit Fighter at 7/2 on Betfair. 20 minutes later Scots Grey won at Newbury and 3/1 was freely available on the exchanges.

I had no lay bets today, so an overall profit of 6.5 points.
