Hoping Imperial Mint would suck

Overall a profitable day, producing more than 4 points profit. My four win bets returned two winners in Ruby Dante and Northern Dare.

This evening saw my winning run laying favourites come to an end after nine successful bets and 17 points profit. Imperial Mint was contesting his second ever race, a maiden stakes. He was stepping up in class, and over an unproven soft surface, having run on good ground previously. I took an early price of 11/8 and subsequently the market also had second thoughts about the horse as his price drifted out to 15/8F On this occassion I was wrong, and the horse produced a good performance to win. But if we can consistently lay bets like this, under Starting Price, we will be guaranteed long-term profits.
