The weekend didn't start great, too many beers on Friday, left me feeling less than good on Saturday morning. My bets were already on though so I didn't need to be too clear headed, I'd gone for Ben Linfoots 3 bets, picked a couple of Nick Mordin's and an old favourite of mine Blaine in the Ayr Gold Cup, he had a great draw and I fancied him to continue his revival.
As usual I watched the racing later after a evening out in Cheadle, but there was little joy, the only returns came from the each way bet on Blaine. After so many profitable Saturdays, this was a bad one, and got worse when I saw that Leeds has lost to the Catalans as well.
My only hopes rested on the golf, and it looked decent as Luiten had the lead by 2 after 3 rounds. However, he bogied the first 2 to drop into a tie, and it looked like being one of those weekends. Things improved as the Dutchman surged ahead again in a tournament that no one seemingly wanted to win. After watching United get battered 5-3 by Leicester, Luiten offered hope of a decent end to the weekend, but when only needing a par on the last, a par 5, to secure the win, he proceeded to shank his tee shot into the rough. He carved his second into the rough, leaving a long 3rd onto a green surrounded by water. I knew what was going to happen, straight into the water, with even the each way returns lost, that was how this weekend was going to end. Phew, Joost hadn't read the script and he calmly found the green before two putting for victory.
Its a tough life being a punter sometimes....
