Diminuto turns in a virtuoso performance

A wholly acceptable day at the office today, and a 4 point profit to show for my efforts. I had four win bets, and Diminuto ensured a profit with a good win at Southwell. The horse was returned at 11/2 with plenty of 6/1 available on the exchanges.

My one lay bet was Paddywack, the morning favourite in the sprint handicap at Beverley. He had not won off this mark since 2004 and so I was keen to lay him if the price was not too extortionate. If you didn't leave it too late you could lay bets at 5/1 this morning, before his price weakened to a SP of 15/2. He never figured at the head of the race, and I took a single point profit.
