Friday horse racing summary

I ended up incuring a small loss today, after Mighty Moose spoiled the party started by Black Rain at Newmarket. In the first race Black Rain came home in front having been sent off at 3/1. I had two subsequent losers, but managed to overturn the favourite in the 1:55 Insaaf for an extra point.

But then I was opposing Mighty Moose in the handicap chase at Uttoxeter. He won a similar contest at Chepstow back in March, but today he was to carry a full 13lbs extra weight. I felt sure this would be enough to reign him in, but he justified 5/2 favouritism, snatching the day's profits and a bit more for good measure.
