Drifting Gold takes silver

A quiet day, and come the end of the afternoon, no movement on the account. I had a bet with the 16/1 shot Brave Vision at Ayr, but without success.

My lay bet came by way of opposing Drifting Gold in the class 4 sprint handicap at Lingfield. She won her maiden on her last outing. Some would say she now has winning form, but my take was that she has only ever beaten horses that have yet to win themselves. And today she was stepping up in class, and into handicap company. I felt the task would be a stiff one to win, and at 7/2 and under I was prepared to take her on. She was returned the 9/4F and found one too many, to give me a point profit back.
