Sunday racing summary and weekly results

A most gratifying Sunday to top off a very profitable weekend (7.5 points profit yesterday). Three win bets today: two lost but the third pick Fine By Me was a comfortable winner, available at odds better than 16/1 to value-seekers on Betfair this morning.

Yes My Lord was my only qualifying lay bet today. He has been contesting several class 3 handicap chases of late, but although he has been unsuccessful his handicap mark has continued to rise. Dropping back to class 4 today, I would normally have looked elsewhere for a potential lay bet. But it was the fact he was now a stone higher without a win that convinced me he would be hard-pushed to win today. He finished in third place, and earned me a point profit.

Up until this week, March has so far been quite hard work grinding out a consistent profit. Not that I'm against consistent profit, nor indeed grinding it out. But this week has been a bit of a shot-in-the-arm, returning an extra 36 points to our bottom line. The lay bets have been painfully slow, and I have only three points profit to show for a sparse 14 bets, one of those points coming from this week.

Profit for the week :- Win Bets 36pts, Lay Bets 1pt
