Thursday racing summary

Another subdued day, and I got involved in only three races, but I still finished the day with a bigger balance than this morning. I waited until the end of the afternoon to see Genari finish unplaced at Goodwood.

However, I opposed two race favourites successfully, to give me a point profit overall. The first of these lay bets was Cabinet, who lined up for a class 4 handicap, with only a win in a class 5 maiden to his name. Today he was giving weight to all but two of his rivals, yet he was sent off the 7/4 favourite - the price undoubtedly influenced by the trainer/jockey combination of Mssrs Stoute and Dettori. He finished fourth.
