Sunday racing summary and weekly results

A small profit from my win bets today, thanks to a win from Scarlet Mix at Warwick. He won convincingly under Richard Johnson at 3/1 and there was plenty of 7/2 to be had on the exchanges.

I didn't get a low enough price on my lay bet Runthatpastmeagain in the novice hurdle at Market Rasen, so it will have to go down as a 'no bet'. This was only his second race, and on his previous outing he finished 11 lengths behind the winner. I thought he would be a contender today, but if I could have gotten a price around 11/8 I felt he would be a value lay bet. I was right to oppose him, and he failed to justify favouritism, finishing second, but his price was always too high (in my opinion) to justify the risk.

This week I returned a healthy profit of 12 points from my Win Bets. Not such good news with my Lay Bet account, which suffered a loss a shade under 6 points. The lay opportunities remain very thin on the ground, and I have had only 2 bets this week.

Profit for the week :- Win Bets 12pts, Lay Bets -6pts
