He's The Gaffer shows who's boss

The account took a knock this afternoon, with a return from just one bet. He's The Gaffer won at Newton Abbott in a class 4 handicap hurdle. Having been placed in his last five races, in a grade above today's race, and at 31lbs well-in compared to his chase mark this afternoon, he was the obvious choice. But at the 2/1 available this morning I felt there was still value in the price.

This was my only success today, however, compounded by my sole lay bet, which won. But tomorrow will have to be a very poor day indeed, if I do not post another winning month overall.

Profit so far this month: 20.9 points
