Another crazy weekend of punting ending up with me having to collect a big wedge of cash from the Hills in Eccles again, as Stenson bottled home at 33/1. I covered with a bet on Mickelson, but the win by Henrik was by far my best punting result of the year. I celebrated with a couple of pints in the MOP, which I regretted on the Monday morning. Sunday was certainly super, as I also had a couple of horse winners tipped by the returning Roger Bush and Bet Alchemist, and Featherstone Rovers my childhood team did the business against Halifax to set up a last day top 4 showdown against Bradford. The golf was my main earner of the week though, as Stenson's winnings was on top of having Mickelson to be top former winner, and a monster each way pay out on Reed leading after round 1 (Covered with Mickelson at 10/1). Happy days.
Saturday was pretty quiet by my standards, but there were some cracking winners on a profitable day. Bet Alchemist was the star with 3 winners, with Have a Nice Day at 13/2,Long House Hall at 6/1, and Franklin D at 7/2. Roger Bush weighed in with a strong bet on Totalise, and there were some each way returns for both Ben Linfoot and Horse Trader with Hors De Combat who came second to Franklin D. All in all it was a decent day, and made my beers in Manchester taste that much sweeter as I headed out early afternoon.
It should be a quiet week, with a big days racing on Saturday at Ascot for the King George. Having said that I've got the afternoon off on Friday for a leaving doo in Town, so not sure what kind of state I'll be in for punting.
