Thanks Pyro (come back soon pleeeeease!!) Just reading back over the log, wondering how he could translate 'I tend to back him relatively blindly' into I know what I'm talking about' is completely beyond me.

So a very poor day yesterday. The longest priced horse, King's Future, was arguably the best performer, outrunning his odds to finish fourth. Thank God I didn't see the jockey change in the 4.30 or I'd have had another loser. Which leads me to add to the rules of the log. Spare rides will NOT be counted, win or lose. I don't have constant access to the net so it would just be pointless and unfair on the log to include them if I see them in time or try to aftertime if I don't. Anyway, seeing as I'm using real money it would be pointless to aftertime them.

Quiet few days for Crowley so hopefully back soon.

Three today, all Lingfield.

2.50 Oasis Dancer €5 @ 5/4 1st @ 6/5

3.20 Loyalty €5 @ 9/2 3rd @ 9/2

5.05 Desert Strike €2.50 e/w @7/1 3rd @ 9/1

Two tomorrow at Lingfield, neither of which inspires huge confidence. Only one race priced up as yet.

3.40 Sottovoce €2.50 e/w @ 11/1

4.10 Fushicho €2.50 e/w @ 9/1

[MyStubbleItches]

Ooooooh, so close with Sottovoce. Just failed to get up on the line, beaten a shd. Great ride by Crowley.

[MyStubbleItches]

Lovely ride by Crowley on Sottovoce. Came off the bridle early but he brought him wide in the straight and galvanised him to fly home to a close second. Another few yards would have made all the difference. Fushicho couldn't match the pace of the winner and second placed horse and finished a remote 4th of five.

Both horses drifted, Sottovoce going off at 14/1.

New balance €84.50.

One ride in the last at Kempton tomorrow evening which is the forecasted favourite.

[MyStubbleItches]

Kempton 8.45 Clodhopper €5 @ 7/4

Balance €79.50

[MyStubbleItches]

Just checked results and Clodhopper won. Didn't see the race but looks like he won with minimum fuss. I was keeping an eye on the price through the day and he was trading favouritism with Source of Light, who finished well back in the field. Clodhopper could be backed at 5/2 during the day in PP or Boyles but he went off 9/4 fav in the end.

So, happy days, getting closer to my original bank. Hopefully the luck will continue tomorrow.

Bank €95.75

[MyStubbleItches]

Three today, all at Kempton later on.

5.40 Saby's Gem €2.50 e/w @ 7/1

7.40 Esytopoloishdiamond €5 @ 11/2

8.40 Hoover €2.50 e/w @ 8/1

[MyStubbleItches]

Didn't see any of the races but Esytopolishdiamond was backed into 7/2 fav and won his race. Neither of the other two seem to have done much and finished disappointingly down the order.

Great day for the log though, back in positive territory.

Balance €113.25

Busy enough day tomorrow for Jimbo at Lingfield. Just looked at the Wolves card too, nothing for Crowley there but two things stood out. George Baker goes there for one ride on Russian Bullet in the 6.40. Now I'd travel across the world if I thought I'd get a ride on anything Russian but a top notch jock like Baker is probably more fussy and hopefully is only going if he thinks the horse has a decent chance. Forecast price is 11/2, I'll be having a score on that in-shop tomorrow.

Also, promising young jump jockey Brendan Powell goes there for one ride on his father's horse Chaninbar in the 8.10, which is a forecasted big price and might be worth a fiver e/w. He's riding at Newbury, his local course, in the afternoon and then taking the horse approx. 90 miles to Wolves. Hopefully there's something in this. Worth a small flutter in my opinion.

[MyStubbleItches]

PP are best price anyway on the one race they have priced up so might as well take it.

Lingfield 5.00 Titan Triumph €2.50 e/w @ 13/2

[MyStubbleItches]

Lingfield

2.45 Princess Lexi €5 @ 2/1

3.50 Ability n Delivery €5 @ 11/2

5.30 Jericho €5 @ 11/4

Could be a very good or very bad day!!

[MyStubbleItches]

Happy days, Ability n Delivery wins the dash with ease to guarantee profit for the day. Princess Lexi found zilch off the bridle, will find it hard to back her with any confidence in future.

Fingers crossed for the other two.

I'm gay.
