Sunday racing summary and weekly results

No movement on the account today, as 2 points gained with a successful lay bet were handed back following two losing back-to-win bets.

I went against Zabougg in the maiden race at Redcar this afternoon. He finished 5th on his debut, and I didn't feel he had showed enough to merit early favouritism this morning. He was sent off at 3/1 after the market changed its mind in favour of Red Cauldron, but there was plenty of 5/2 money available during the course of the day. He finished fourth having never threatened, and saw us two points better off.

It hasn't been a bad week, with five winning bets from fourteen for the Win Bet account, and a little over 3 points profit for the Lay To Lose account. But many opportunities were missed through non-runners and late withdrawals because of the poor weather. The cynical amongst you may argue these could have been losing bets so we should be grateful for this week's profit, and you could have good point! But I would still like to see the sun come out again, the ground to dry out, and reliable racing return to give us some consistent profits, wouldn't you?

Profit for the week: Win Bets 6pts, Lay Bets 3pts
