Thursday racing summary

I took with one hand and gave back with the other today. Missis Potts was my only win bet, and scored nicely at 4/1 with 5/1 available if following the market on the exchanges.

My lay bet was Petitjean in the handicap chase over 2m 5f. He was 10lbs over his winning mark in this class, and on his previous outings he has not shown he relishes testing ground. I went against him for 6 points and got it completely wrong I'm afraid. He won very well, although at a price a shade under 6/4 it was a risk I was happy to accept. A loss of 9 points on this account, and 4 points down on the day in all.
