The Weekend

The Weekend

 

Had a bit of an issue with the website and hence I haven’t updated the blog for a few days. I’ve also decided to stop doing the precise details of my staking, although I will from time to time let you know how my quest is going with a rough idea of my monetary gains/losses. I’ll keep the blog as more of an informal/entertainment thing rather than detailing every single bet and stake.

 

Suffice to say, the weekend just gone was a roaring success with some fabulous winnings, which came as welcome relief after a less than great days 2 and 3 at York. Day 2 at York was a small loser on a day with few bets, and day 3 (The Friday) was only saved from complete disaster by a 7/1 winner from Tipping Legends in the evening racing. I’d actually decided to give Saturdays racing a miss until Swivel came from last to first to save my bacon, never was a man so relieved.

 

On Saturday Ben Linfoot once again produced the goods as he tipped up both the first Mutual Regards at 20/1 and second Van Percy at 14/1. I usually and in this case backed both each way, so it was a monster result for me. Ben also tipped Kashmiri Sunset who won the each way money at 20/1 by staying on well for fourth. 

 

On Sunday there were more winnings to come as Ben Coley at last managed to land a golf winner as Hunter Mahan came storming through to win the Barclays golf at 50/1. To be honest, after the previous days bonanza I was quite relaxed about this winner, just kind of goes to show that to have the right sort of punting attitude I need to have regular big winners. This was in sharp contrast to Fridays rollercoaster.

 

The week ahead looks pretty quiet, given the Hunters win, I’ll follow this week’s sportinglife.com golf tips, but the racing looks relative mediocre, so I wouldn’t anticipate a great deal of action. I will update later in the week, and let you know how things have gone on.
