Hector the right Choice

The lay bets continue on smoking hot form, and I had a good return from the win bets as well today. I proposed three horses to back in the morning, the first two were unsuccessful, but then Hectors Choice lined up for the conditional jockeys handicap hurdle at Newbury. Trainer Philip Hobbs has a good winning record in this race, and this French horse showed promise in his first race in this country at Exeter last month. The early boards were offering 4/1 which I felt was good value, and I suggested getting on at 7/2 or better. It was a rewarding bet as the gelding came home in front.

My lay bets returned a juicy 17 points profit, despite my last selection winning at Great Leighs.

Profit so far this month: 110 points
