Saturday horse racing summary

A bumper collection day today. Two winners from three win bets, and a very profitable lay bet, saw just over 20 points added to my bottom line. Morestead got things started at Fontwell, winning at 8/1, followed by Il Warrd finishing first at Redcar.

My only lay bet of the day was Liberation at Newmarket. His last run was a convincing win in a class 3 handicap worth £6,000. However, today he was stepping up in class to compete for a prize of £492,000 and facing much, much stiffer opposition. Mark Johnston's horses are in fine form at the moment, but I still felt that the price of 2/1 was too short about this colt. I went against him for 9 points profit, and he could finish only fourth.

Profit so far this month: 32 points
