Not so Fast Feet

A more positive day's results, with two successful bets from three. I recommended Fair Along for the Chester Cup this afternoon, and this morning you could have backed him at 10/1 on Betfair. He was eventually backed into favouritism, but found just one horse to get the better of him. A more favourable result came when Malinsa Blue overturned the odds-on favourite in the mile-and-a-half handicap at Beverley. Just over 3 points profit.

My sole lay bet was Fast Feet who lined up for the first race of the afternoon at Chester. To date his best form was a close runner-up in a class 5 maiden race, yet today he was contesting a class 2 stakes race and was the 5/2 favourite to win. He was only just beaten, but beaten he was, and I collected another point profit.

A welcome profit of just over 4 points in total.
