Wednesday horse racing summary

A profitable day overall, but due only to my lay bets. I had two back-to-win bets which both lost.

A very good day opposing favourites, with a successful bet against red hot favourite Ouzbeck being of particular note. He finished 3rd in a similar event, some 13 lengths behind the winner, and recently had a win in a class 5 maiden event. So he had only beaten horses that had never won themselves, and in a race in a lower class than today. So why he was priced odds-on was incredible. what truly beggards belief is that punters were willing to accept such ridiculously short odds. I went against him for 6 points at odds of 4/6 which meant i could increase my stakes further still by a factor of 1.5 This big bet was vindicated when he finished 2nd and afforded me 9 points profit.

I did get it wrong when Tot O Whiskey won at 4/11F but this did little damage to the account and overall I made 4 points clear profit for the day.
