Saturday horse racing summary

A slight loss to the account today. I proposed four win bets this morning, and three of them lost. Poquelin produced a thrilling come back to win at Cheltenham, and I managed to recoup most if not all of the losses.

Poquelin has winning class 2 hurdle form, and had already won his chasing bow at Newton Abbot before today's race. So if he could live up to his hurdles ability then today's race was well within his compass, and I was looking for a price of 5/2 or better to make the reward worth the risk. He touched 11/4 leading up to the off, and I grabbed this before he was eventually sent off at 5/2 After a bad mistake at the water jump left him detached from the leaders and seemingly out of a chance, he showed great heart by powering up the Cheltenham hill to come past all his rivals.

No lay bets to report today.
