For day 2 at Goodwood, I was at work in the morning and off to watch the racing in the afternoon. I'd not had the best of nights sleep again and was pretty weary, so couldn't wait to leave work at 12 on the dot and get home. As with the first day I kind of felt a little down and depressed.
Overnight had been decent with good results from Galway's evening races from Bet Alchemist. Top Notch Tonto ran a screamer to finish second at 20/1, and Beau Satchel landed a massive punt from 9/1 into 11/4 favourite. This was in complete contrast to Galway's dreadful day 1 results, and it meant that I was in decent shape as we headed into day 2 at Goodwood.
Wednesday was pretty poor for me, with the only winner for me being Ulysses, tipped up by Horse Trader at 9/2. I had some each way money returns from Ribchester (unlucky), Twin Sails, Column, and Cairdiuil, but overall results were very disappointing. I should have really seen this coming, when in the first race my three horses finished in the last 3 never looking like even bringing me any each way returns. The Galway Plate was awful as well, with none of mine ever looking likely to get involved.
At least though, I made it to the Pub (George and Dragon) for a few beers to drown my sorrows, as well as celebrating the start of my holiday, and then we had a nice meal at Bellinis, before downing another bottle of wine. It was a very poor day, but there were enough returns to mean that I live to fight another day.
