Monday horse racing summary

A profit of 9 points to boost the bottom line today, thanks largely to a win by Errigal Lad at Leicester this afternoon. This horse has been slowly but surely improving throughout the season, and combined with the fact that he had dropped from a mark of 82 back in the Spring, I felt a win today was well within his compass. At a morning price of 10/1 he represented outstanding value in my book. The market appeared to be in agreement, as he opened on course at 8/1 before tumbling in price to 4/1 at the off.

I had two other horses finish in a place this afternoon, and I successfully laid a bet against Mythical Blue at Musselburgh. All in all, a most pleasing, and most welcome day.

Profit so far this month: 12 points
