Tuesday horse racing summary

No movement on the account today, as the two points staked on my two win bets were offset by two successful lay bets.

Red Fama was on course for his fourth straight win at Haydock this afternoon, which saw his price shrink to around 2/1 This in itself is a short price in any handicap race where supposedly every horse has an equal chance. But this afternoon Red Fama was carrying a penalty of 15lbs for his last win. He was also stepping up in class, and carrying that extra weight on the heavy going at Haydock. He had a lot of questions to answer and the value bet was to oppose him. He ran a very credible race to finish second, but this still meant we got paid. I also saw Lucayan Dancer overturned for a point at Lingfield earlier in the day.

Profit so far this month: 12 points
