It was a very busy punting week with the big Newmarket meeting taking place from the Thursday onwards, and I also had some bets on the Tour De France, and the Scottish Open Golf.
The opening day of the Newmarket meeting on Thursday was relatively quiet and results weren't great until Horsetrader returned to form with Dubai's Secret at the Newbury evening meeting. At Newmarket it was a mixed set of results, with Mehmas being the best winner for me, which was tipped up by BetAlchemist.
I managed to finish work early on Friday, on which there were a monumental number of quality horse racing cards. There were so many bets. and again Horsetrader did the business with Oceane coming late and fast to win the money at Ascot. Newmarket looked a tough card and so it proved to be as none of by bets there resulted in any returns. Fortunately though, I'd decided to go back in with Tipping Legends, who always seem to finish the season strongly, and JC certainly delivered for me tipping 3 winners out of 4 including Mistiroc at 9/1 in the last at Chester. It was a strange Friday, as unusually it was a dry one since I was driving to my Mums the next day. This wasn't great after a hard week at work as a nice glass of wine is gratefully received on Friday to help forget the stresses of the week.
Saturday I was at my Mums, just helping her settle in after her recent move. There were plenty of bets and I was also on Chris Froome for the first high mountain stage of this years TDF. We got home early afternoon, and I settled down to watch TDF, and what a stage it turned out to be with Chris Froome making an audacious attack on the mountain decent and time trialling all the way to the finish. Incredible, truly incredible from one of my favourite sportsmen and a nice 10/1 winner.
I went to the local for a few after the cycling to calm my nerves and recorded the horse racing to watch later. It was a very busy day, and I ended up with a small profit on the day. Horsetrader contributed with a 16/1 winner Golden Steps and I was also heavily involved with Limato, who hacked up in the July Cup.
I took a day off betting on the Sunday, but things got even better for me as Ben Coley, who'd had a poor run came back to form with a 50/1 winner in Noren. That was a great way to end a fabulous week, and meant that I could leave my wages in the company account untouched for yet another week.
The upcoming week, looks quiet on the horse racing front, but I'd expect to be heavily involved in the Open Golf at Royal Troon.
