Walk in the park for Strolling Vagabond

After a few days with no bets to speak of, I'm glad to say that normal service was resumed for today at least. From three back-to-win selections I scored a good-priced winner in Strolling Vagabond at Fontwell. Approaching the start his price drifted out as far as 9/1 on the exchanges as initially the market was favouring the other three leading contenders. A welcome 7 points profit to add to the account.

My first lay bet for some days also, was Maktu in the maiden hurdle at Fontwell. Here was a horse still contesting a maiden race after 14 starts, yet still on offer at odds-on. He was sent off the 4/5 odds-on favourite and I was happy to lay him to lose 2 points, giving me 2.5 points profit when he finished behind Back On Line.

Overall a profit of more than 9 points on the day.
